The Explorer Belt is an event for teams of two Rover Scouts (Formerly Venture Scouts). “The Belt” is 10-day expedition during which the team must cover 200km’s on foot while completing a number of challenges, completing a logbook of their journey and living on a limited budget. The event takes place in July each year in a different country. Teams that are successful are awarded the “Explorer Belt”
Since Cathal Galligan and Don Vaughan earned their Explorer Belts in Italy in 1988, we have had a number of our members gone on to take on this challenge
