Young Leaders

Introduction

The Young Leader's Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section. All Leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Section who are between the ages of 14 and 18 are members of a Young Leader's Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to service in another section. 

The Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give service to others. The scheme also helps them fulfil the service elements of their awards.

Child protection

You can also download The Young Leaders' Young People First card (orange card). The orange card contains the main Child Protection policy of The Scout Association.

The guidance is designed to safeguard the welfare of all members and is a free resource available from the Information Centre.
