Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged between 14 and 18 years old.
Explorers are the fourth section of the Scouting movement. Right from the time of Baden-Powell, there have been arrangements for young people who wanted to continue after their time in the Scout Section, and in 1967, Venture Scouts were formed from the existing Senior Scout and Rover Scout Sections.
During the late 1990s we decided that, to meet the changing needs of young people, there should be two sections for the over-14s: Explorer Scouts for 14 to 18-year-olds, and the Scout Network for 18 to 25s.
There is a range of ambitious badges and awards, through which Explorers can demonstrate their proficiencies and expand their interests.
Phoenix Explorers is the East Hull Explorer Unit which is split between the different East Hull groups one of those groups is St Margaret Scout Group.

Tom joined the group in cubs and later became an Assistant Scout Leader, when the Explorer section was set up he became an Assistant Explorer Leader before becoming full time leader in 2011.
