2023_10_22 – Great weekend for our silver DofE practice. Well done to all, absolutely amazing effort by all 
Welcome to Hillsborough Explorers, we are the next unit to run after Scouts and our age group is 14 – 18 year olds.
As a unit we try to get out of the hall as much as possible throughout the year and this would include hikes, canoeing. We also meet up with other units and join together to do camps and other activities.
The Group also gets involved in lots of charities and fund raises. Previously we sponsored 3 guide dogs through training until they where given to new owners, which was a very proud moment for the unit.
Over several years the Explorer unit has been proud to help with the shoebox appeal for numerous countries and the Explorers enjoyed packing and decorating the shoeboxes knowing how great the cause is.
The defibrillator that is currently in the Scout Hall for everyone’s benefit, was bought with the money Explorers collected doing a bag pack at a local supermarket. This was an amazing achievement as the defibrillator is a lifesaving piece of equipment and the Explorers were very keen to purchase.
