Teenagers from Doncaster are learning skills for life after joining a recently opened Explorer Scout unit.

The young people – boys and girls aged 14 to 17 – from Conisbrough - get involved in planning the programme of activities they want to do.

And so far they have enjoyed a wide range of activities including camping, canoeing, cooking on an open fire and culture evenings. And members have even more to look forward to in the New Year with a whole host of fresh activities planned.

They also chose the name of the Unit, the colours of the scarf and the design of the badge.

The Ravens Explorer Scout Unit started in April 2023 and has grown in numbers, with 15 young people currently attending.

The unit opened because there were several Scouts – boys and girls aged 10 to 14 - that wanted to join an Explorer Unit that was nearby.
