Suspension is a purely temporary measure.

A Explorer Scout Unit may be suspended by the District Commissioner in consultation with the District Executive Committee and District Explorer Scout Commissioner

Suspension may also be a consequence of the suspension of the District.

In such a case the County Commissioner may direct that Explorer Scout Units will not be suspended but attached to a neighbouring District or to the County as appropriate.

In the event of suspension all Explorer Scout Unit activities must cease and all Unit Scouters are automatically suspended as if each were individually suspended.

During suspension no member of the Explorer Scout Unit may wear uniform or badges.

A District Commissioner who suspends a Explorer Scout Unit must report the matter with full details to the County Commissioner.
