Explorers / Chorlton Bees

For young people aged 14 to 18, we have an active Explorers section, which meets on Tuesday evenings between 8pm and 9.30pm. Explorers concentrate on developing advanced Scouting skills, and groups are regularly working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Explorers largely develop their own programme, which might be based at the Scout Hut, but may also involve meeting in Manchester and attending other external activities.

Location

We are located at 7 Egerton Road South, Chorlton, Manchester, M21 0YP. You can see our location on the map below, with main transport links (click the map for a larger version).

Access and Parking

We are located at the end of a residential street, so we need to be mindful of our neighbours. We have good access to public transport, and the Fallowfield Loop runs just behind us, so most people walk or cycle. We have safe parking for 14+ bikes on Sheffield Stands.

If you do need to drive, please avoid dropping off or parking near the scout building, as it becomes very congested and it is dangerous for the children arriving on foot or bike. Please park on the areas marked in green on the map below (click for a larger version), unless you have equipment or supplies to drop off. There are spaces on Withington Road and on the junction of Egerton Road South and Daventry Road.
