Balanced Programme
The philosophy underpinning the Programme is that every Scout should participate in a Balanced Programme over a period of time.
What we offer to young people in the Explorer section is a range of activities, events and experiences built around six Programme Zones.
You balance the programme in the same way you'd balance a diet, by simply ensuring that over a given period (a month or a term, for example), there is something from each zone in the programme.
We deliver the activities across the Programme Zones using a variety of Methods, and the final element of the Balanced Programme for Explorer Scouts is the Bottom Line - a list of things you'd hope to see going on in an ideal meeting.
