Moving on to Scout Network
The next Section after Explorer Scouts is Scout Network. Explorer Scout members can move to the Scout Network any time between the age of 17.5 - 18.5. This is to allow for a smooth, easy transfer between Explorer Scouts and Scout Network, as well as giving explorers a taster of what the Scout Network has to offer whilst still in their final weeks as an Explorer Scout.
Award Work
The Explorer Scout and Scout Network sections share most of the same award scheme. This means that Explorer Scout members who are still working towards a specific award by the time they leave Explorers will be able to continue working towards gaining that award in Scout Network.
