Explorer Belt
Along with the Chief Scout's Award, the Explorer Belt is the most coveted award in Irish Scouting. Over the last 25 years, 1,900 Venture Scouts have gone on Explorer Belt Expeditions. Ireland's Explorer Belt is recognised as being one of the most challenging yet ultimately rewarding activities in Scouting. As of 2010, the Explorer Belt is now a Rover Scout event and participants must be over the age of 18.

Famous quotes containing the words explorer and/or belt:
“A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Boss, life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and look for trouble.”
—Michael Cacoyannis (b. 1922)
