Due to the increase demand for Explorers, Scouts in Crossgate has grown! Crusaders Explorer Unit is excited to offer more opportunities for young people aged between 14 and 17, with the support of the local community and volunteers.

Through fun, activities and adventures, Scouts offers a youth provision that is known worldwide, but the benefits aren’t just for the young people. As the opportunity for teenagers to get involved in Scouting opens, so too does the opportunity for adults to volunteer.

Chief Scout Dwayne Fields praises the volunteers who supported his journey in Scouting as a young person. “My volunteer leaders believed in me as a young person and taught me to believe in myself. They showed me I could do anything I put my mind to, and others would help me along the way.”

Did you know that 79% of adult volunteers in Scouting volunteer because they enjoy it and 70% feel like they have a positive impact?
