Exploring
The Mountain West Council is beginning to expand Explorer Posts across the council. We successfully launched a Police Post in Caldwell this summer and we are increasing our efforts to create Explorer Posts.
What is Exploring? Exploring exists to teach important life and career skills to young people, ages 14 to 21, from all backgrounds through immersive career experiences and mentorship provided by community and business leaders like you. Together, we equip young people with character, leadership and life skills that can be used both today and in their future careers. Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Businesses and community organizations initiate a career-specific Explorer post or club by matching their people and organizational resources to the career interests of youth in the community. The result is a program of interactive activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop. Exploring Link: https://www.exploring.org/.
