Set Sail with Lincoln’s New Explorer Sea Scout Unit

We’re excited to announce the launch of an all-new Explorer Unit right here in Lincoln!

Excalibur – Lincoln’s Sea Scout Explorer Unit – will officially open its doors on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, based at our Altham Terrace HQ.

This new 14–18 Explorer provision will bring an exciting balance of land and water-based activities, giving young people the chance to experience adventure both on and off the water while developing essential Skills for Life.

Meet the Team Behind Excalibur

The Unit will be led by Jonathan Hadleigh, our current District Network Lead, alongside a core team of four volunteers and support from the District Water Team.

Jonathan shared his thoughts on the launch:

“I have been really privileged to be able to make this dream a reality; I couldn’t ask for a better core team and it wouldn’t be possible without them, the Water Team, or our district leadership. We all want as many young people as possible to be able to enjoy a range of experiences with us. As we look to the horizon and get ready to open Excalibur, I am looking forward to providing time on the water, nautical themed activities, and brand-new skills for life!”
