We’re Wheathampstead & Kimpton Explorers, part of the Harpenden and Wheathampstead Scouting community. We bring young people together to make friends, learn skills, shape their own programme and enjoy new adventures.

From outdoor challenges to creative projects and community activities, there’s always something different to try.
