Each registered volunteer has been vetted by the Scout Association and our Leaders undergo structured training in accordance with Association Policy to enable them to offer safe and challenging programmes for our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts.

Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that'll help you weather the storms of life, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school - working with trained volunteers to achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Explorer Scouts
Explorer Scouts
Explorer Scouts
Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fifth section of the Scouts.
Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Units to try new things, make new friends and conquer the small task of changing the world.
Joining our group
Due to the success of the 49th Eastfield, nearly all the children in the group start at Beaver age and come up through the sections. We also generally have a lengthy waiting list. If your son/daughter would like to join our Group, please get in touch below ('contact us' at the bottom of website). We recommend to put their name on the waiting list well in advance of them turning 6 (Ideally from the age of 4 or earlier). Every effort will be made to accommodate new members who have not come up through the sections from Beaver age, but this is dependent on us not exceeding safe numbers in sections. We will always try to offer a place within our Group for new members providing perceived safe numbers are not exceeded and the quality of membership is not compromised. Priority will always be given to children moving from section to section within the Group, and we cannot guarantee places to others. The size of our group is also dependent on the number of leader volunteers we have so if you can help this enables us to keep our activities going for our young members. If we cannot take a new member we will try and assist parents to find a place in other local Scout Groups.
