All adult webinar – Wednesday 22 May (7.30 pm)

Participant/Parent webinar – Wednesday 26 June

Each District is looking for Unit Leaders to take Explorers – if you are interested please contact your District Lead Volunteer directly.

As well as Unit Leaders, we need approximately 60 adults to join our event delivery team. This includes adults with adventurous activity permits for hill walking, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, and traditional rafting, as well as those who would like to earn permits in these disciplines.

It is a big team effort, so we will need many adults to join our logistics and driving teams, catering team, wellbeing, and admin and support roles. These opportunities are open to all adults in Berkshire Scouts regardless of your current role or section you volunteer with. Please register for our  ‘All adult webinar’ which will take place on Wednesday 22 May (7.30 pm).

Registration for Explorers will open end of June once we have Unit Leaders in place. A separate Explorer and parent webinar will take place on 26 June.

In the meantime, any questions, or queries, should be directed to:
