113th Glasgow (Burnside)
Scout Group
Age 14 to 18
Activities
Explorers enjoy a wider scope of activities like offshore sailing, campaigning, performing, parascending, mountaineering and expeditions. They can also take on a leadership role in one of the younger sections.
Uniform
Explorers wear core uniform of a coloured shirt and special group scarf.
The uniform can either be bought using the shop link above, or from the Scout Shop in Elmbank Street. You can also ask the leaders for more information.
We don’t want young people to miss out through financial hardship. If concerns about finances may prevent your child taking part in Scouting or some activities, speak to your local leader, as some assistance may be available in confidence.

You can find a diagram of the positions of badges here.
What it costs
Scouting is an affordable way of providing a range of exciting and adventurous activities for your child.
In a recent survey, 75% of parents said Scouting provided the best value for money compared to other activities like sports and martial arts groups, youth clubs and drama or music classes.
There's an annual fee of only £80 which covers weekly activities. Day trips and camps are charged separately, but are normally subsidised by the scout group.
