UK Explorers is one of our newer expedition programmes, taking British Exploring Society’s unique approach, based around Adventure, Knowledge and Personal Development, to a slightly more accessible location. Start your journey to Scotland with us today and explore the landscape of the Scottish Highlands.
This is our first-ever programme to take place in the UK and whilst it is a complete, self-contained expedition journey in itself, it may also act as a stepping stone onto our international expeditions.
Led by experts, the expedition has been designed to take you out of your comfort zone in a challenging yet safe environment, with a real focus on the skills and personal development you will gain from the experience. The safety and support of our explorers is the cornerstone on which we build and develop an expedition from conception through to departure and return.
The vast majority of young people return from our expeditions with a wealth of new-found practical skills, new friends-for-life and a real sense of personal development – all of which can have tangible benefits for the future.
It has taught me that I am capable of anything as long as I am brave enough and put my mind to it.
Young Explorer
It doesn't matter where your starting point is; you'll return with more confidence in your own abilities; greater resilience, determination and courage - and a sense of self-belief that will stay with you for life.
