Below is a list of events and opportunities available to Explorers beyond the weekly programme; some of these are for groups, some for individuals. If you have any questions about any of these, please get in touch with the Denewulf 14-24 Lead, Laura.
These are the opportunities offered to all Explorers in Hampshire; they are all different, and some might be more for you than others. Many of them can contribute to your Top Awards!
