Kenilworth Explorer Units
There are two Explorer Scout Units in Kenilworth District – both units meet at the Kenilworth Scout & Guide Centre, Fishponds Road, Kenilworth, CV8 1EY.
Phoenix ESU
Explorer Leaders: Ellie McGovern / Richard Elliott / Nicki Mottram
Email: phoenixkenilworthesu@gmail.com
Phoenix ESU is an action packed Explorer Scout Unit and is run mainly by its own members with a wide variety of fun and adventurous activities throughout the year.
We are active in local community, supporting local events such as Kenilworth Lions Grand Show, Two Castles Run, Kenilworth Carnival.
Every year there are several weekend camps. Our main summer expedition is a full week’s camp, usually the last week of the summer holidays. We sometimes go abroad having previously visited Sweden, Holland and France.
The Unit meets most Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Occasionally we meet elsewhere.
Castle Lake ESU
Explorer Leader: Richard Staveley / Lesley Allen
Email: castlelakeesu@gmail.com
Explorer Scouts is run by the unit so each Explorer unit is different reflecting members’ interest. At Castle Lake Explorers we value traditional Scouting activities. We have cooked meals for the Leamington Night Shelter, been on a night hike, made Swedish candles and promotional videos, we have prepared game and cooked over open fires, been bouldering, visited an Escape room and even run an escape rooms activity for younger sections. We have raised funds at the Christmas Fair by selling “reindeer” food and by operating the car park for Kenilworth Carnival. Many of our members are working towards the top awards including King’s Scout Award, and some of the cohort who have just left (as they are 18) have been to South Korea for the World Scout Jamboree, to the Haarlem Jamborette (Netherlands) or represented Kenilworth at a town twinning event near Paris for pre-Olympic games. We also attend and support big county wide events such as “Get In”. Big events not for you? We also run a smaller unit camp and sleepovers.
For the first time we are offering the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme as many young people can no longer complete this through their school.
The Unit meets most Wednesdays from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
