British Exploring Society

British Exploring Society prepare and take young people on expeditions to remote wilderness locations where they face challenges, gain skills and learn about themselves, as well as acquiring knowledge relevant to their lives and the fragile environments that they explore. The results are transformative, not just in terms of practical skills and resilience, but in a new-found confidence and self-belief which they carry forward to their future life.

A journey of profound change

We support a range of young people, with a focus on underserved communities. Often, these young people would never cross paths in any other way. With us, they rub shoulders and exchange ideas.
