Join Exploring

Exploring

Exploring is a co-ed youth program for young people in grades 6-12 and up to 20-years-old within our council’s 15 Central Texas counties. Participants (called Explorers) gain practical career experience, develop leadership skills, and network with professionals in multiple fields.

 

Who can join Exploring?

Young women and young men can join! High School and older members are part of Exploring groups called Posts. Middle school members are part of Exploring groups called Clubs.

What do Explorers do?

Explorers build meaningful professional networks, and discover clearer career paths through hands-on real world experiences, and often find valuable mentorship.
