General
Explorers (or rowans or sherpa's) are more responsible for what
they do every week than scouts. Instead of leiders (leaders)
explorer-leaders are normally called begeleiders (which
means something like coach or supervisor). Explorers chose their
own bestuur (board) with (at least) a chairman, secretary
and a financial manager.
Activities
Explorers organise their own activities. The things they do
vary greatly between groups. For instance, some explorer-units
take up projects (like building large objects with wood and ropes
or organising an event for the whole group) that sometimes last
several weeks. Other units focus mainly on preparations for the
next camp and raising money to pay for these camps.
