Welcome!
Hi to all!
Welcome to our fantastic web site packed with some great information which we can all use. Let's help the webmaster and make this the best county explorer website in the country!!!!
There are some great Explorer activities coming up like the Christmas Theme Camp and the Energise 2008 day for our Leaders which includes support from the Explorer Scout Office at Gilwell.
In my role as County Explorer Scout Leader, I'm very keen to visit Districts and Units, so if you've got a great event planned, don't wait for your ESL to invite me - drop me a line and I'll do my best to drop by. Read more about me.
Cheers! Malc
From Steve Cree, ACC (10½-25 years)
Hi Everyone!
All things change, and I have accepted the new role of ACC (10½- 25 year olds) in a new County Team under our new County Commissioner, Kathryn Wills.
I want to say a very big thank you to you all. While being your ACC, I have been very proud of the support I have received from all of the Explorers that I have met, as well as the Leaders.
If you're approaching 18, check out the Scout Network or think about becoming a Leader - it's great fun!
Cheers! Steve ACC(10½- 25 year olds)
Just for Lauren!
