All leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Section who are between the ages of 14 and 18 must be members of a Young Leaders Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to service in another section.

The Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give service to others. The scheme also helps them fulfill the service elements of their awards. Full details of the Young Leaders Scheme are available on the ScoutBase website.

The district has set up an Explorer Unit expecially to help those wishing to participate in the Young Leader Scheme. The Young Leaders Unit meets once a month, the third Monday of the month at Lingard E.U. Headquarters.
