Olympian Explorer Scouts meet at 2nd Bracknell on a Wednesday night from 7pm to 9pm (unless our programme has taken us somewhere else). Most of the Olympians are registered to 2nd Bracknell, however Explorers registered with other scout troops are welcome to join any of our meetings.

The unit is led by Steve Prower with help from Nicky Morgan.

The Chairman of the unit exec is Jonathan Dye

Gang Show 2010
Our trips to see the South & South East Berkshire Gang Show are always popular, not least because there are usually some 2nd Bracknell members in the gang. We've purchased 90 tickets for the show on Tuesday 16 February. To reserve yours please see the reply slip. The offer is open to all Beavers, Cubs, Scout, Explorers and their families. Tickets are £8 each .

Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell has joined the "buy.at" network which means that we earn commission on things you buy online if you go through our online shop at http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. You'll find over 100 retailers there including M&S, Expedia, play.com, Amazon, Game, Thorntons and Field & Trek. You pay the normal online price which is generally less than on the High Street so you can raise money for us and still save money.

Scout Shop
If you need uniform then the Scout Shop is the place to go. The Scout Shop page has more details and includes a map showing how to get there.

Badge Requirements
We don't publish the requirements for badges on our site. To ensure that you are looking at the latest information follow the link to Badges & Awards and find the badge on Scoutbase. Scoutbase is also the place to go to find out where the badges go on your uniform.

There are other Explorer Scout units within our District. For more information please contact our District Commissioner - click on "Contact Us" for the e-mail address.
