Young Leaders

The Young Leaders’ Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to help as part of the leadership team in another section.

The Young Leaders’ Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give service to others. The scheme also helps them fulfill the service elements of their DofE awards.

The Young Leader Scheme is also Externally Recognized by the Institute of Leadership and Management – Development Programme, so if Registered with them when YL’s complete all the Modules and Missions they receive a Certificate from the ILM which looks great on A CV.
