Explorer Scouting in Redditch
There are three Shared Group Explorer Units in Redditch. These Units are linked to the surrounding Scout Groups, as shown in the table below:
| Explorer Scout Unit | Feeder Scout Group |
| Southern | 1st Astwood Bank 1st Crabbs Cross & Hunt End |
| Northern | 1st Church Hill 1st Matchborough 1st Winyates |
| Central | 1st Redditch 11th Redditch 1st Birchensale |
The units meet on the following nights:
- Northern meet at Church Hill on Tuesdays, from 7:00 till 9:00.
- Central meet at Greenlands on Thursdays, from 7:30 till 9:30.
- Southern meet at Astwood Bank on Fridays, from 7:450 till 9:15.
Besides the three Explorer Scout Units, there will soon be a Young Leader's Explorer Scout Unit - supporting the Young Leaders and providing them with their own programme. Young Leaders are, like all Explorer Scouts, welcome to attend any Explorer Scout event in the district.
At least one district Explorer Scout event will happen each term (normally lots more). This will be organised by the District Explorer Scout Committee, which is made up from representative Explorer Scouts and members of the Explorer Scout Leader Team.
Watch this space for further details. In the meantime, contact Mike McAuliffe, the District Explorer Scout Commissioner, if you have any queries.
