Explorer Scout Young Leaders, often called ESYL’s or YL’s, are young people aged between 14 and 18 who volunteer alongside adults leaders in a Beaver Colony, Cub Pack, or Scout Troop.
The YL Scheme is an additional (or alternative) Explorer Scouts programme for the Young people who want to spent their time volunteering with a younger section. It provides a fantastic oppotunity to develop leadership skills and a range of other transferrable skills while having great fun.
The scheme is open to new members who want to join a YL and to existing Explorers. You can also also take part in the YL scheme as a volunteering placement for a Duke of Edinburgh Award.
