Bear Grylls Appointed New Chief Scout in the UK FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Sarah Facter: 240-662-2926 May 18, 2009 [email protected] Survival expert Bear Grylls was appointed Chief Scout of the UK, the Scout Association announced today. The host of Discovery Channel's hit show MAN VS. WILD is the youngest person ever to become Chief Scout. In this role, Grylls will serve as the volunteer leader of the largest co-educational youth movement in the UK. He will focus his efforts on promoting the policies and benefits of Scouting throughout the UK, and encouraging new adults to join the movement. Grylls, who will hold the Chief Scout position for five years, takes Will Ferrell along with him on a special episode of MAN VS. WILD on Tuesday, June 2 at 10PM ET/PT. Grylls is currently in production for season four of MAN VS. WILD, which premieres in August. See the full Scout Association release below. For Bear Grylls' bio or for more information on MAN VS. WILD, visit press.discovery.com. Bear Grylls appointed new Chief Scout in the UK • Mission to massively increase the number of adult Leaders in the Movement and to continue to grow the Movement in size • Committed to reinforcing Scouting’s role as the place to offer adventure based activities to young people • Youngest Chief Scout ever 18th May 2009: The Scout Association is delighted to today announce Bear Grylls is the tenth and youngest Chief Scout of the United Kingdom and Overseas Territories. Scouting has adventure at its core and Bear is one of the UK’s great outdoor adventurers; he is also a strong supporter of young people as seen via his work with international children’s charity, Global Angels. As Chief Scout, a position he will hold for five years, Bear will be the volunteer Leader of the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country: Scouting has around half a million Members including some 90,000 adult Leaders1. During his term, Bear aims to inspire more and more adults to volunteer for Scouting and is committed to reinforcing Scouting’s role as the place to offer adventure based activities to young people. Bear’s commitment to massively increasing the number of adult Leaders in the Scout Movement comes at a time when waiting lists to join Scout Groups across the UK remain at an all-time high: currently more than 33,000 young people aged between six and 25 are waiting to join Scouting in the UK. However, for every new adult that volunteers five more young people will have the chance to participate in Scouting. So we only need 6,600 adults, which equates to just 0.01% of the UK’s adult population2, signing up to completely wipe out our current waiting list. Bear was appointed yesterday by The Council of the Scout Movement at a special meeting in London. In the role of Chief Scout, Bear is tasked with promoting the policies and benefits of Scouting, and encouraging new adults to join the Movement. Previously, as one of the youngest ever climbers to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, Bear is now the youngest person ever to become Chief Scout. He will be invested at a handover ceremony with outgoing Chief Scout Peter Duncan later in the year. Newly appointed Chief Scout Bear Grylls said: “I feel hugely honoured to be asked to take up this role as Chief Scout - it really is a dream come true. I have always loved helping young people live their dreams and to taste real adventure… as well as getting caked in mud! I also hope I can use this post to encourage masses of adults in the UK to volunteer as leaders. The young people in this country need them like never before, and we have more people wanting to join than there are places available. But by volunteering, adults can actively make a difference to young people’s lives in their community, and there is no better way to be part of an adventure and have loads of fun, than with the Scouts.” “The Scout Movement is a world-wide force for good and at heart it says that young people have the right to an adventure. And I for one am so proud to be part of that.” Safa Cheema, (14) an Explorer Scout from Bristol said: “All of the Scouts are really excited about Bear becoming Chief Scout. He’s really inspirational and I think he’s going to be a great Chief. I am looking forward to doing loads of adventurous activities in the future - it’s going to be amazing with lots of fun.” Outgoing Chief Scout Peter Duncan said: “I have gained enormously from my experience as volunteer Chief Scout over the past five years. I have particularly connected to the grass roots and have enjoyed seeing the adventurous and environmental awareness aspects of scouting increase during my time as leader. I have learnt so much being part of a large organisation, honing the skills of presentation, thinking on my feet and discovering how to communicate an inspirational message for young people. As a working actor I think Bear Grylls is the most brilliant piece of recasting I have ever been be involved in. I wish him great success.” In addition to Bear Grylls being appointed as the new Chief Scout, Wayne Bulpitt has been appointed as the first ever UK Chief Commissioner. This role will strengthen the day-to-day volunteer leadership functions within the Movement. Wayne will focus on managing and leading all volunteers within the Movement and will also be responsible for building relationships with political parties, Association ambassadors, and other charities and organisations. New UK Chief Commissioner Wayne Bulpitt said: “I am delighted to have been invited to take on the new role and to lead our Movement at such an exciting time. The successes of the last few years mean that we are well placed to capitalise on our external high standing and profile and to fulfill our vision of providing inspiration, personal development and exciting opportunities to increasing numbers of young people. I know that we can only do this through increased support to those volunteers running our sections and units without whom there would be no Scouting. We now have a great opportunity to attract more adults to take on leadership roles in the Movement.” ENDS New Chief Scout Bear Grylls, UK Chief Commissioner Wayne Bulpitt, and Explorer Scouts Sally Milner (14) and Charlie Roper (16) are available for interviews on Sunday 17thand Monday 18th May For media enquiries and interview requests please contact: Verity Williams on 020 7842 0134 / 07877 767 710 / [email protected] Katie Thompson on 020 7842 0131 / 07866 590 747 / [email protected] Notes to editors [1] Source: The Scout Association Census 2009 [2] Source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/uk.html CV - Bear Grylls DOB: 7 June 1974 - making him our youngest Chief Scout Scouting: Cub and Scout Occupations: Explorer, television presenter, author Television includes: Born Survivor with Bear Grylls, Escape to the Legion, Mission Everest, and Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls (Discovery Channel, worldwide) Books include: Facing Up, The Kid Who Climbed Everest, Facing the Frozen Ocean, Born Survivor, Bear Grylls’ Great Outdoor Adventures, Mission Survival: Gold of the Gods, Mission Survival: Way of the Wolf, Mission Survival: Sands of the Scorpion.

  • The Full Strategic Plan
    SCOUTING FOR ALL OUR 2014–18 STRATEGY scouts.org.uk/2018 THE CHALLENGE AHEAD Scouting is already one of the greatest movements the world has ever known. Scouts have walked on the moon, rowed across oceans, scaled the highest mountains. They have been prime ministers and Oscar winners, authors and inventors, World Cup heroes and scientists. Our former Scouts are also social workers, teachers and foster parents: the people who make society work. Scouts are all around you. You will know them by their values: cooperation, respect and integrity that they learnt when they were young. When they memorised the Scout Promise on a cold Thursday night, they were not just joining a youth club, they were choosing a code which many would follow throughout their lives. They were making a choice to live a meaningful life, full of fun, adventure and friendship and to put others before themselves. This strategy sets out a plan to make Scouting available to the next generation of young people. Today we have 434,000 youth members following eight years of growth. By 2018 we want to bring Scouting to at least half a million young people and attract enough volunteers to help us do this. We want to prove that Scouting is more relevant today than ever and has the ability to transform lives. We want to extend our reach even further so every young person in the UK has the opportunity to experience Scouting. We are open to all regardless of faith, gender, sexual orientation, race or social background. In fact Scouting is valued most and has its biggest impact in the most deprived parts of the country1.

  • Tales from the Scout Hut Although It's Now October and the Summer
    Tales from the Scout Hut Although it’s now October and the summer seems a long time ago, for many of us the week at the Kent International Jamboree 2017 at Detling is still fresh in our minds and with many fantastic memories. In fact, you may have seen some of the Scouts around the village wearing their Jamboree t-shirts and hoodies for weeks afterwards! We had rain, sun, blocked toilets, a weeks’ worth of fantastic international food and made new friends – well, there were 6000 of us from 25 countries, so no shortage of people to meet. The week kicked off on Sunday with ‘Bear in the Air!’ The Chief Scout, Bear Grylls traditionally takes to the air in a helicopter for a weekend in the summer to visit as many international camps as possible and KIJ was the first on list! Everyone in the group got the chance to see him when he visited our Subcamp stage, Interamerica. For two of our Leaders, Liv and Eleanor who were with the International Service Team at KIJ, it was a very special visit as Bear presented them with the Chief Scouts Personal Award. They received this award for their actions when, as two 17 year old Explorer Scouts, they were the first on the scene of a road traffic collision at Shatterling last Autumn and organised the emergency response and looked after the injured until the emergency services arrived on site. It was a very special honour to receive the award from the Chief Scout himself and later in August he named them his #August Scouting heroes on social media.

Scouting is a worldwide force for good that unites young people with positive values and an adventurous spirit,” says Bear. “We aim to make a difference in our communities, help young people learn new skills, and be kind to all people.” As one of his first acts as Chief Ambassador, Bear was on hand for an event at the United Nations headquarters today to launch Scouts for SDGs – a mobilisation of 50 million Scouts to make the world’s largest coordinated youth contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Many young people and adults return from Jamborees exhausted but elated!

The below points indicate some of the skills and experiences that would be beneficial for those applying for a Unit Leader, Deputy Unit Leader or Assistant Leader role.

  • Scouts and Guides Have Better Mental Health in Later Life, Study Finds
    News Release Issued: Tuesday 8 November 2016 UNDER STRICT EMBARGO UNTIL 0001 GMT THURSDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2016 Scouts and guides have better mental health in later life, study finds Taking part in the scouts or guides appears to help lower the risk of mental illness in later life, a study suggests. Children who participate in the organisations – which aim to develop qualities such as self- reliance, resolve and a desire for self-learning – are likely to have better mental health in middle age, the findings show. Such activities, which frequently involve being outdoors, also seem to remove the relatively higher likelihood of mental illness in those from poorer backgrounds, the results showed. The findings were drawn from a lifelong study of almost 10,000 people from across the UK who were born in November 1958, known as the National Child Development Study. Scientists from the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, who analysed the data, found that those who had belonged to the scouts or guides tended to have better mental health at age 50. Around one-quarter of study participants had been in the scouts or guides, and those were found to be around 15 per cent less likely to suffer from anxiety or mood disorders, compared with others. Researchers say their findings suggest programmes that help children develop skills such as self-reliance and teamwork, and encourage being active outdoors, may have lifelong benefits. Attending the guides or scouts may help build resilience against common stresses in life, or it may increase a person’s chances of achieving more in life, so that they are less likely to experience such stresses, researchers suggest.
