HSX
We are Hampshire Scout Expeditons
HSX is an Explorer and Network Scout group that specialises in running international expeditions and outdoor skills training for Hampshire Scouts.
About Us
Empowering Young People
We are a group of like-minded people in Hampshire Scouting who enjoy outdoor activities, and want to challenge ourselves personally, as well as supporting others in achieving their dreams.
Explorers, come explore with us.
Young leaders, come lead with us.
Expeditions
HSX revolves around taking teams of young leaders, Network and Explorer Scouts to the far corners of the world on rewarding and memorable adventures.
Training
Weekends away in the hills focus on building core technical skills so all members to enjoy the countryside while keeping them selves and others safe. Training is based around both Scout awards and national governing body awards.
Adventure
From hillwalking to climbing, abseiling to mountain biking – if it’s outdoors and fun we’ll probably give it a go.
Development
As well as technical outdoor skills, we find that expedition members tend to grow personal skills when faced with the challenges that come their way when stepping out of their comfort zone.
