Explorers - Feeder groups the truth
What is a Feeder Group?
As part of the Explorer Scout programme it is required that link events are completed with Scout Groups from the district. To make sure all the groups are covered a selection of groups where chosen for each unit to link too.
As well as the link events it is expected that Explore Scout leaders from time to time visit groups to assist with the Moving on process. To make this more manageable we needed each unit to look over several groups within it's area.
Which Unit looks after my
Group?
Good Question. Below is a list of the Units and it's Feeder Groups. It
is hoped that when ever possible Explorer Scout Leaders will come and
visit your Troop nights. However if you feel that you are missing out
then please contact us direct - there are more of you than us!
| 229 West Unit |
|
| Downend Unit |
|
| Tyndel Unit |
|
| Young Leaders Unit |

Do my Scouts have to attend
the selected Unit?
Another common question. Easy answer is no. A Scout can attend any unit
that they want to, they can attend all the meetings each week if they
want (and some do!!!).
Can my Scouts change Unit if
they don't like it?
Of course, it's just the same if a Beaver, Cub or Scout is in a Group
that they are not happy with. At the end of the day the exercise is to
keep hold off members, not drive them away!
I have never seen an Explore
Scout Leader down at my Group!
If this is true then please contact Gary Welsh.
I have a question that was not answered by these shown above. What do the Explorer Scout Leaders plan to do about it?
Easy enough, just contact us. We are a highly motivated team, and are all capable of answering your questions and queries. If you want a visit again get in touch, we would only be to happy to come down and see your group. Get in touch with either Gary.
