We're proud to help young people develop skills for life
About Us
We’re the Welsh Dragonz Explorer Scout Unit and we run Explorer Scouts for young people from across Blaenau Gwent.
Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fifth section of the Scouts. Explorers meet in groups called Units that are organised at a District level.
Being an Explorer
When you join Explorers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
Being an Explorer is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier in the long run, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.
Explorers seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should.
Reaching the Top!
In Explorers there are even more ways to reach the top with a whole array of badges and awards for you to work towards.
Information for parents
We know that as parents you will have lots of questions so we’ve put together a guide to answer as many as we can.
