An exciting opportunity for 185th Explorer Scouts is announced.

Planning is underway for a proposed Explorer Belt Challenge in summer 2009, which will be jointly organised by the Cambuslang and 185th Explorer Scout Units. The Explorer Belt Challenge involves a two-week expedition travelling through another country to help participants develop a real understanding of cultures, and working within a small team of three to four explorer scouts to complete a series of projects and meet local people.
