Great to drop in on White Tree’s camp this weekend - thanks for some of your camp-made blackberry and apple jam! #CabotExplorers #WhiteTreeESU

Our four DofE Gold groups have been out sharing what they got up to on their expeditions this summer with their Units - featuring wild camping in the Lakes 🏕, an amber heat warning 🥵, and a sassy ladybird called Eric 💅 Josh from Spitfire was also awarded his Bronze DofE! 🎉 #CabotExplorers #BrabazonESU #ConcordeESU #SpitfireESU #DofE

It’s not quite @themeparkcamp, but we have made it to Thorpe Park! 130 Cabot Explorers and Gromit Network out for the day 🎢 #CabotExplorers

1 year 2 months and 20 days since we last had Explorers out on camp, they’re finally back! . Spitfire ESU were out last weekend hiking from Bristol to Tintern, with a night at Botany Bay - and there are another six Unit camps coming up over the next few weeks 🏕 . Fingers crossed for the first District camp that’s down in the calendar - @themeparkcamp in September! 🎢 . #CabotExplorers #SpitfireESU #Camping #BotanyBay #ThemeParkCamp

A big welcome to our (currently unnamed!) 11th Explorer Unit, who were invested this evening - thankfully the rain held off! 🎉 #CabotExplorers

Young Leaders? Completed it mate 🎉 . The Young Leader Belt is awarded to Explorers who complete all 11 modules and all 4 missions in the Young Leaders’ Scheme. We’ve only had five Explorers in the District achieve this - three of them in the last few months! . Congratulations to Flinn (Concorde, 91st Beavers), Lauren (Pirates, 169th Cubs) and James (previously Concorde, 62nd Scouts) for this brilliant achievement, and well done for all the time they’ve put into the scheme and volunteering with their sections! . #CabotExplorers #SkillsForLife #YoungLeaders #YoungLeaderBelt

The platinum award fairy has been to visit again! Congratulations to Joshua (Spitfire) and Lauren (Pirates) who’ve recently completed their awards and join the hall of fame 🤩 #SpitfireESU #PiratesESU #CabotExplorers

And that’s another Platinum award completed! Well done to Ed from STEAMA ESU 🙌 #SteamaESU #CabotExplorers

While Explorers have been able to work on some of their Top Awards over the last year, not being able to get out and about made it difficult for anybody to finish 😫 . After over a year of waiting, these six from Spitfire have finally been able to finish their Platinum awards, and join the Hall of Fame! 🌟 👑 . #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers #SkillsForLife

Tomorrow at 6pm James (one of our Explorer-alumni) is hosting a debate with some of the Bristol mayoral candidates to find out their plans for a thriving sustainable Bristol. You can watch live @ecoavon and on YouTube, there’s still time to send in some questions too! #asenxmayoraldebate

While you’re tucked up in bed tonight spare a thought for some of our Explorers who are sleeping out in homemade shelters of all shapes and sizes, to raise awareness (and some money) for Sleep Pod, a charity which produces emergency shelters for rough sleepers - they’ve already raised nearly £900 between them! More info about the sleep out and the fundraiser is up on our website, link in bio 🏕 #CabotExplorers

Spitfire have their Silver and Gold DofE teams out this week, finally getting their practice expeditions in! Unfortunately no camping allowed currently, so they’re having to head home each day, but it’s good to see them out ⛰ #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers
