[edit] Other Countries

A quick search for "Explorer Belt" on the internet turned up a large number of UK Explorer Scout Units and Networks, but I also found a couple of other countries in there... unfortunately, I can't read one or get access into the other:

Anyone able to translate for us? Horus Kol 11:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll do the translation for the German speaking countries (Germany (2 of 3), Switzerland), but this may take some time since the German article has a completely different structure.
Further countries with this program are Ireland, Norway, Poland, Sweden (listed without reference in de:). --jergen 11:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Jergen - I think its also a safe assumption that Commonwealth countries also have the award (since they are fairly similar to UK Scouting - at least as far as the 1960s), but could not find a reference to this anywhere... Horus Kol 11:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Girlguiding UK

Although in the UK the award is run through the Scout Association, members of Girlguiding UK are able to gain the Explorer Belt. Smudgepuss (talk) 22:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
