This pack has been created to help you as Explorers to plan your Unit programme.
The pack contains the following information:
■ – A list of around 20 activities for each of the challenge themes shown in the
diagram above to give you some inspiration to plan your programme. Each activity has a Programmes Online
(POL) number next to them where you can find further information and guidance. You can access
Programmes Online via www.scouts.org.uk/pol using your Compass username and password.
■ – we have included a number of highlights to help tailor your programme with a variety of
activities.
– help run an activity for one of the younger sections or for the older scouts who are due to
move up to Explorers
– works towards a badge or top award
■ – a simple table to help you plan your programme with space to fill in what you want
to do and who is organising it. Remember, when planning a programme it is important that you have a good
balance of activities across each of the challenge areas to suit the needs of everyone in the Unit.
 It is important to always think of the safety aspect of all activities i.e. equipment, instructors, first aiders etc.
 Policy, Organisations and Rules (POR) – this is the Scout Association own rule book and it’s important that
you are aware of any rules that will apply to any activities that you are running. These have been
particularly referred to in the Adventurous Activities section.
 Remember; if you are ever unsure make sure you ask your leaders for help.

and chips to the tandoori take-away. The idea for this activity is to try a specific food from as many
different take-aways as you can. You might choose to survey five of the local fish and chip shops

content than shop-bought, cultivated and farmed food (plus it’s free). Speak to locals about the
best places to look and be especially aware of which plants and berries aren’t safe to eat. *Make
sure you research thoroughly what you can and can’t eat and if you are at all unsure don’t risk it!*
18. (POL – 60517) – use the nature around you to try some food for free!
19. (POL – 86225) – If you prefer your free food a little more salty then why not

1. (POL - 42677) - This is a backwards game so it starts with everyone
being out, and ends when everyone is back in.
2. (POL – 86231) - Take part in a Boot Camp style work out. These have become
increasingly popular in local parks and green spaces so you could take part in one of these. If not
why not make your own work out!

local Explorer Units (football, basketball, netball).
5. (POL – 86234) - As a Unit find out about a local sports
competition that you could enter. Make sure it is far enough in advance that you have the
opportunity to practice as a team. This will take some planning.
6. (POL – 86235) – Have a go at a workout you haven’t tried before for example,
Zumba, Yoga or Pilates.

21. (POL - 21294) - Fun activity for whole section, for fitness, competition and agility.
22. (POL -705) - A series of physical activities for young people to attempt in order
to improve their physical achievement.

--- PAGE 23 ---
Teamwork and Leadership are key skills that you will develop throughout your time in Explorers. Below we
have compiled a list of different activities you can do to promote team work and develop leadership skills.
1. (POL - 82751) – The Unit takes over a particular event or activity
(District/County/Region) and run it their own way.
2. (POL – 55319) - Most Explorer Scouts prefer to turn up and do, rather than sit
down and plan. This activity should give them a flavour of planning in a fun context and allow them
to enjoy the outcome of their planning. It should also help them to plan an event for their Explorer
Scout Unit, allow them to implement the plan and introduce them to the concept of Self-Review in
Scouting.
3. (POL – 448) - Each group has to light a candle but they are not
allowed within 12 feet of the candle.
4. (POL – 162) - They must identify the missing object by feel and
working together as a team. This is an opportunity for the Explorers to work as a team and
experience the frustrations of being blindfolded. Very useful for Young Leaders. The debrief at the
end is vital.
5. (POL – 6139) - Teams select athletes to compete in six different athletic
events. Points are given and the total scores reveal the Section Champions.
6. (POL – 55293) - Cover your meeting place with objects such as
plastic bottles. Some Explorer Scouts are blindfolded; the others must get their 'blind' team
members across the minefield without hitting the mines. If the blindfolded person hits a mine they
sit down and become a mine themselves.
7. (POL – 55300) – A team building
activity around decision making.
8. (POL – 78621) – Build an obstacle course for your unit.
9. (POL – 83122) - Physical recreation game played in teams. Similar to rugby using
chalk instead of a ball. Split the Unit into two or four teams.

11. (POL - 8748) - Test your engineering skills with this statue building
match box challenge.
12. – (POL – 342) - A team activity using scout skills of team work
and pioneering knots to achieve a goal and win the race!!
13. (POL – 218) - A treasure trail of sorts to encourage
Explorers to discover their local area in a bit more detail. One or more of the Explorer Leaders has
been kidnapped and a trail of clues leads to their whereabouts taking in local places of interest.

--- PAGE 24 ---
Camping has been a key part of Scouting since the movement started and continues to be so today. As
Explorers, you are at a point now where you will spend a lot of time camping with your peers with little or
no adult assistance. Therefore, it is important that all members of the team have the right skills to be able
to do this. Below we have given you some suggestions of different camps you could run and the top
awards you can work towards.
Within this resource we have compiled a list of some key skills that as a team you will need to know. Have
a look in the Navigation, Survival Skills and Camp Craft sections for ideas of what you can practice on Unit
meetings in preparation for some night’s away. Even though you may know some of the skills we have
included it is important to pass on your knowledge and teach these skills to those who are moving up from
Scouts and those who are new to Explorers.
(POL - 34024-30426) – Key skills to prepare you for an Expedition
(POL – 55323)
(POL – 78267) – an activity for is you are thinking of
travelling abroad.
Here are the expedition requirements for the top awards:
Chief Scout Platinum/ DofE Bronze 2 day, 1 night expedition
Chief Scout Diamond/ DofE Silver 3 day, 2 night expedition
Queen Scout Award/ DofE Gold (16+) 4 day, 3 night expedition
Explorer Belt 10 days – international
More information on all of these awards can be found on the Scout Website.
Below we have included a list of some night’s away suggestions, but the possibilities are endless. It is up to
you and your peers to decide on what you would like to do and what interests you.
■ Volunteer as service crew for your local Scout campsite or Activity centre.
■ Help organise a camp that uses a form of transport other than walking (cycling, canoeing, kayaking,
horse riding)
■ Arrange a camp with another Explorer Unit this could be with a Unit from your local District or County
or with a Unit from somewhere else in the Country.
■ Run a backwards theme camp (start with supper, end with breakfast) etc.
■ Plan a camp where you rely solely on public transport to get you from start to finish. How close to your
campsite can you get?
■ Run a Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader camp for your district. This can be a great way of
introducing yourself and the Unit to those Scouts who are due to move up to Explorers.

--- PAGE 25 ---
■ Run a Patrol camp for a local scout section
■ Run a Cub Sixer and Seconder camp for your District.
■ Run a camp where you learn how to track animals.
■ Start a project looking at how you can help with wildlife conservation.
■ Virtual Brownsea Island Camp – (POL – 9667)

--- PAGE 26 ---
1. (POL – 86308) – construct various camp gadgets to use on a future camp.
2. – The type and size of fire you build should depend on the materials you have available, the
purpose of the fire (will you be cooking a three-course dinner or just boiling water?) and also
personal preference. Learn about the different types of fires you can build. Give each one a go!
3. (POL – 86307) - A way of making a fire using kindling and small sticks.
4. (POL – 86309) – Building your fire in a dug out in the ground.
5. – A way to suspend a kettle or billy can over your fire.
6. (POL – 86310) – A campfire classic that takes the shape of a wigwam
or tepee.
7. (POL – 86311) – Works on the principle of directing heat back towards the fire.
8. (POL – 86312) – An unusual way to make a fire
More information can be find in the Scouts Outdoor and Adventure Manual, online and at the
following website - http://www.survivalworld.com/fire/trench-fire.html
9. (POL – 86313) – a way to start a fire using natural materials found in and
around the forest.
10. (POL – 86315) – Find out about and try and find King Alfred’s cake -
a fungus that grows on dead wood (especially ash) that is a natural firelighter.
11. (POL – 86302) – A method of making fire using friction between two pieces of wood.
12. (POL - 86316) – Whether you’re climbing, pioneering or angling, knots
and lashings form an essential part of your outdoor knowledge. All it takes is practise, practise,
practise! Why not perfect your skills by building some of the structure below or organising to help
a local Scout group to complete their Pioneer Activity badge.
13. (POL – 86317) – One of the most popular and versatile kinds of emergency
shelter as it can be built relatively quickly, built to any size, and is quite sturdy if constructed
properly. Set a unit competition to see who can build one the quickest, sturdiest or most water
tight.
14. (POL – 86303) – A scouting classic that can be used in the right weather
as a refreshing change to the more common tent and roll mat combination. Suspended above the
forest floor and protected from light showers, it’s the perfect way to sleep in the open. Also a great
way to practice your knots.
15. (POL – 480) – Axes have been used for thousands of years to split and cut
wood. Largely unchanged in shape, the modern axe needs to be handled with care and skill to
ensure both safety and efficient use. Handling an axe is a skill that once learned is rarely forgotten.
As an Explorer, it is likely that you have been shown how to use an axe on a number of occasions
but could you teach someone else? Why not organise an evening to teach some new Explorers
who haven’t been involved in Scouting before or some older Scouts due to move up? Why not use
the Axe quiz sheet (POL – 480) to help.
16. – Along with the axe, the saw is the backwoodsman’s indispensible tool for cutting
and shaping wood. Which type you use, however, depends on the kind of wood you’re cutting as
well as the speed and accuracy required. As an Explorer, it is likely that you have been shown how
to use a saw on a number of occasions but could you teach someone else? Why not organise an

--- PAGE 27 ---
evening to teach some new Explorers who haven’t been involved in Scouting before or some older
Scouts due to move up?
17. – The knife is the key item of kit for the great outdoors – essential for fire
lighting, rope work and preparing food. However, it must be treated with great respect and only
used after proper training. As an Explorer, it is likely that you have been shown how to use a knife
on a number of occasions but could you teach someone else? Why not organise an evening to
teach some new Explorers who haven’t been involved in Scouting before or some older Scouts
due to move up? Why not try carving different materials to perfect your technique – carve a spoon,
soap, vegetables, decorations out of different materials.
18. (POL – 24017) - Doing this activity you can explore the skills involved in
whittling and carving, discuss knife safety and knife crime.
19. (POL – 54656) - A simple to make cooking stove that can easily make a hot drink.
20. (POL – 4386) - Fast paced race that involves team work as well
as pioneering skills!
21. (POL - 51451). Snowshoes can mean the difference between life
and death in a sub-zero survival situation.
22. (POL – 86306) - Make a metal box oven and cook bread or cakes in it.

--- PAGE 28 ---
1. (POL – 86318) - Learn some basic First Aid – including bites, burns, broken
bones, hypothermia/hyperthermia, infections, poisoning and sprains.
2. (POL – 86319) – A rhyme to learn the burning
properties of wood.
3. (POL - 82564) - How to start a fire using flint and steel.
4. (POL – 86376) - Create your own perfect survival kit.
5. (POL – 86375) - Make a bivouac and stay in it overnight.
6. (POL – 86373) - Cook a three course meal on an open fire.
7. - Find out three different signalling methods and use them to communicate a
message to other Explorers in your unit. (Why not try Morse Code, Semaphore or ground to air
signals)
8. (POL – 86374) - Organise a survival skills competition with
another Explorer unit, or as part of a Scout or Cub meeting.
9. (POL – 86372) – All animals leave tell-tale signs behind them for anyone
keen to observe, from droppings to evidence of half eaten lunch, but it’s their tracks that provide
the most accurate means if identification.
Learn some common animal tracks and see what animals you can track.
10. (POL- 86370) - Make a survival bracelet using paracord. Paracord is so-
called because it’s used for parachutes, but it’s also a very versatile elasticated cord for craft use,
suited to making things as diverse as a wristwatch strap or woggle.
11. (POL – 86371) - Learn how to sharpen a knife. The knife is the key item of
kit for the great outdoors – essential for fire lighting, rope work and preparing food. However, it
must be treated with great respect and only used after proper training.
12. (POL – 86377) - Get a local Butcher to come visit your Unit to show you how to prepare
meat.
13. (POL – 86305) - As a unit find out and try some different methods of collecting
water in preparation for your next camp or expedition.
14. (POL – 86304) – Backwoods cooking is the art of cooking without using
traditional pots and pans, but using ‘natural utensils’ instead.
15. (POL- 82565) – Making natural cord from nettles.
16. (POL – 46678) -This technique can be used
when trying to estimate the width of a river or canyon. A scout will need to calculate this distance
when preparing how much rope would be needed to span the obstacle.

--- PAGE 29 ---
1. (POL – 85066) – Using a hand-held Global Positioning System Receiver
usually referred to simply as a GPS. The core function of a GPS is to tell the user where they are.
A great way of getting used to a GPS is to go geo-caching. Geo-caching is where participants
seek out hidden containers using published co-ordinates. Visit http://www.geocaching.com/
to find your nearest locations or even add some of your own.
2. (POL – 86301) – An important skill for all Explorers to practice in preparation for
working towards the top awards.
3. (POL – 64638) – Can you work out which direction North is without
a compass?
4. (POL - 31710) – A creative way to approach route planning.
5. (POL – 86300) - Plan a hike for another team to see how accurate your route
planning is!
6. – Research and have a go at trying to navigate using your analogue
watch. How accurate can you be?
7. Try the activity (POL - 64638)
8. (POL -86256) – Finding direction using the stars is really easy, when the sky is
clear. As long as you can identify the North Star you will be able to know which direction is north.
As a Unit why not visit an observatory to learn more about finding and recognising stars.
9. (POL – 86255) – Tracking is one of the great scouting skills. Set off a small team of
Explorers to start a journey and leave track for the rest of the unit to follow. Giving them enough
time to get going and see how quickly you can catch them.
10. (POL – 86254) – Have a unit meeting looking at identifying different animal
tracks then go out into the natural environment and see what you can identify.
11. (POL – 887) - An activity that allows Explorers to practice and
improve walking accurately on a compass bearing. Use simpler geometric shapes for beginners
and make them more difficult (add a "side") as they get more accurate. You will need a large, flat
area - inclines make accurate pacing difficult.
12. (POL – 82164) – An activity to practice using bearings.
13. (POL – 394) - An activity based on the London Monopoly Game.
Participants travel between the properties and collect photographic evidence of those visited.
Points are awarded based on the property values and extra points given for whole sets of
properties and hotels in the photos. Can be run with an overnight stay in London at BP House or
Lord Amory or why not plan your own version based on your local area.
14. (POL – 3649) - A challenge to test and train the
ability to navigate in the dark.
15. (POL – 10685) - Orienteering where teams are challenged to get to the
checkpoints before any other team.
16. Go- (POL – 45186) - An easy-to-set-up orienteering course that
can be done in any open space (or even indoors); as you can make the course as big as you want.

--- PAGE 30 ---
17. (POL – 82653) - Create a map of your own area, with symbols to represent key
points, plan a route and hide some treasure. Give to one of the younger sections as a linking
activity.
18. (POL – 83081) - Explorers plan and undertake their escape from Scout HQ
to a rescue point (for example a local campsite) where you will have to survive for up to 24 hours
before rescue. Leaders will be on the lookout.
19. (POL – 2363) - Using radios to give the other team directions to find an
object you have hidden.
20. (POL – 664) - Introducing Explorer's to the uses and pitfalls of using GPS as a
navigation aid.
21. (POL – 83135) - A day hike challenge with a difference.
22. (POL – 882) - An alidade is a simple tool that enables the user to
make accurate plans of relatively small areas - a 2-acre campsite is ideal. To make one requires a
few basic woodworking skills, a few tools and some pieces of scrap timber. Note that the maps
produced are unlikely to include any terrain information (contours).

--- PAGE 31 ---
1. (POL - 59930) - a great activity to encourage team work and
coordination.
2. (POR 9.17) Quietly whistling around the clouds and with the potential to fly for several
hours, gliding is an exhilarating and affordable way to learn to fly. Some 40% of the annual flying
by scouts is in gliders.
3. (POR 9.18) Who can fail to be excited by the sight of a majestic hot-air balloon
drifting over summer cornfields or cricket greens on a balmy summer evening? There is a great
feeling of peace and tranquillity around.
4. (POR 9.19) Skydiving is one of the most exciting sports of modern times. Dynamic
and colourful, it offers both men and women total mastery of the air and the freedom to make the
skies their own.
5. (POR 9.20) Hang glider pilots, suspended from their gliders by a special
harness, launch from hills facing into wind, from winches on flat ground or by being towed aloft
from an airfield behind a microlight aircraft. The objective is always to stay airborne in lifting
currents of air and - for many - to undertake long cross-country flights. The UK record for distance
currently stands at over 250km, and for altitude at an astonishing 16,000ft.
6. (POR 9.20) Paragliding has developed as a more individual sport than
parascending and usually takes place from suitable hillsides or mountains. Participants have to be
able to walk up hills carrying the paraglider and the comfortable seat-shaped harness (in a huge
back-pack). It is possible to have two-up air experience flights that do not require high levels of
training or experience. Pilots have to be able to launch the canopy themselves and quite some
time is spent learning to do this successfully.
7. (POR 9.21) Hovercrafting is the activity of riding on a powered craft which is
lifted from the ground by a large fan. Hovercrafting can take place over land or water.
8. (POR 9.33) Skiing - Few sights in nature can be as perfect as a clear blue sky,
spectacular scenery and the brilliant whiteness of newly fallen snow. Little in life can compare with
the exhilaration, pure freedom and oneness with your surroundings gained from skiing those first
tracks through impossibly light, sparkling fresh snow.
9. (POR 9.34) Climbing is the activity of ascending a rock feature,
which can be natural or man-made. Abseiling is a form of descending from a height using a rope.
This activity is usually undertaken on rockface or a man made structure.
10. (POR 9.35) Being a completely alien and unseen
environment, caves have for generations been regarded by many as the domain of the sinister,
and all those who participate in the activity as being equally strange folks. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Not only are caves some of the most beautiful places on earth, they only show their
beauty to those who explore their depths.
11. (POR 9.36) Target archery is an internationally-recognised sport which features in both
the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. This is the most popular form of the sport where, as its
name suggests, participants shoot at static targets in order to score points. The size of target used,
and the distance over which they are shot at, varies. A round consists of a number of ends of
arrows. This is the number of arrows that each archer shoots prior to the scores being recorded
and the arrows collected. When shooting indoors, ends normally consist of three arrows, and
outdoors, six.

--- PAGE 32 ---
12. (POR 9.37) Target shooting is, as its name implies, the sport of shooting at artificial
targets as opposed to live quarry. It is an international sport, featured at the Olympic, Paralympics
and Commonwealth Games. The game is about marksmanship skill; the ability to repeatedly place
shots in as small an area as possible in the centre of the target. Real guns firing real projectiles are
used so the activity takes place on appropriately-designed ranges and safety is of prime
importance. This focus on safety makes target shooting amongst the safest of all sports and
shooting develops in its participants a strong safety culture with a self-disciplined approach to the
handling of hazardous objects.
13. (POR 9.40) The basic equipment for laser games. Both target shooting games
and interactive games are available commercially. In laser target shooting games the participants
fire laser guns at artificial targets, such as in laser clay pigeon shooting and in variants in which the
targets may be other objects or images. This type of activity can be hired for use at your site,
indoors or outdoors as appropriate.
14. (POR 9.68) Bungee running is an activity where participants are attached to
a secured bungee cord and run to reach a fixed target.
15. (POR 9.69) Karate is a traditional Japanese system of unarmed combat.
16. (POR 9.70) Horse riding is the activity of travelling on
horseback. This may be in the form of a course or trek.
17. (POR 9.71) BMX bikes propelled traditional cycling to new and exciting heights from
muddy cyclo-cross and ‘dirt’ track racing to freestyle on ramps and the art of flatland (balancing
and manoeuvring on one wheel). There is no such thing as simple BMX, it is a combination of
skill, sport and performance
This could be carried out virtually anywhere. For example you don’t need to go to a purpose built
ramp-park or cyclo-cross circuit. You can devise your own simple confidence course with just a
reasonably sized indoor and outdoor space. A local park, school playground or playing field.
Devise your own course – ride over the rungs of a ladder, along wooden planks just inches off the
ground, slalom around upturned buckets etc.
Makes sure you check the rules in POR and always be conscious of health and safety.
18. (POR 9.78) This is any adventure course where users are attached to
ropes at a height above the ground, often up to 40 feet high, with various exercises that allow
individuals to physically challenge themselves. High ropes courses are normally used in
conjunction with climbing ropes, safety harnesses, helmets and other equipment more commonly
associated with rock climbing. They can either be of the pole variety or tree-based.
19. (POR 9.77) Bouldering is a rock climbing challenge undertaken on a bouldering
feature close to the ground. A bouldering feature can be natural or man-made.
20. (POR 9.42) Originally used by the Inuits for hunting and fishing, a kayak is propelled
from a sitting position using a double-ended paddle. Most commonly these boats have enclosed
decks (closed cockpit) and are designed for a single person, although you can get open-cockpit
kayaks and kayaks for two or more people.
21. (POR 9.42) Open boats have been used for thousands of years by many different
cultures, but it was native North American Indians who pioneered the craft as we recognise it
today, making them from wooden ribs and bark and using them to navigate the vast river networks
of the continent. When European settlers arrived, early explorers used canoes to chart their New
World. Today they are often known as 'Canadian canoes'.
22. (POR 9.40) A simulated version of clay pigeon shooting in
which laser guns are used instead of shotguns. Two forms of the activity are available

--- PAGE 33 ---
commercially, an outdoor activity in which real clays are used and in indoor version in which an
image of the flying clay is projected onto a large screen.
23. (POR 9.72) Quad biking is a motor sport activity using an all-terrain vehicle known
as a quad
24. (POR 9.42) Scuba diving is the activity of underwater swimming with breathing aided by
the use of an air tank. The feeling of weightlessness and underwater breathing is both exhilarating
and totally addictive.
25. (POR 9.45) White water rafting involves one or a group of people
paddling an inflatable raft down a wild water river. This is down fast moving water and propelled by
paddles and the natural current.
26. – (POL – 85230) Why not have a go at making your own bows
and arrows and have an evening based around the classic legend of Robin Hood. This is definitely
an activity that requires careful supervision and the Unit must be shown how to make and use the
bows and arrows safely.
27. (POL – 86238) – Whether you set this up yourself in your meeting
place, local green space or at your local activity centre, obstacle and assault courses are a great
teambuilding activity. Why not have a Unit competition or even set up one for all the units in the
District?
28. – (POL - 73784) - a game for all ages that can last from 15 minutes to hours.
But not for the faint hearted! Two teams. Two flags. Defend your own and capture the other.
Simple.
29. – (POL – 83081) - Explorers plan and undertake their escape from Scout
HQ to a rescue point (for example a local campsite) where you will have to survive for up to 24
hours before rescue. Leaders will be on the lookout.
30. (TV Show) (POL – 71740) – Why not set up you own version of the cube? Organise a
set of activities/challenges for individuals or teams to try and complete. Start with 9 lives and one
trial run and see who gets the furthest.
31. (POL – 32664) – An adaptation on the Children’s classic. Send one
person/leader (Wally) off into your local area to hide. In teams the rest of the Unit has to search for
