Explorer Units - Home
We have four Units within the District, geographically they are based in Wantage, Grove, Stanford-in-the Vale and Shrivenham. Respectively they are names Ridgeway, Shackleton, White Horse and Waylanders. There is also a Unit dedicated to supporting Young Leaders. Please check out the Unit's own pages by clicking on the Explorer Units Navigation button above.

The Units are open to all young people aged from 14 to 18 years, and they run active programmes throughout each year and sometimes get together to take part in joint activities.
