Well... it's a training programme for Young Leaders! By working to complete a series of modules and missions, Young Leaders gain skills and knowledge to be successful in their volunteering role working with younger members of Scouts.
Explorer Scouts volunteering as a Young Leader can fulfil the service elements of many of the top awards in Scouts, or their Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
Although the scheme is usually taken on by Explorer Scouts, young people from outside Scouting can also participate if they are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards or King's Guide Award. They do this by volunteering as non-members for a set period of time.
