When you’re Chief Scout, you have to be prepared for important occasions.
And none could be more momentous than meeting the Queen. Bear Grylls’s pride was evident today as he introduced the monarch at the annual scouting review, held at Windsor Castle.
The adventurer, who has been Chief Scout since 2009, was there along with the Queen to honour 600 high-achieving youngsters from Britain and the Commonwealth.

Most received the Queen’s Scout Award
– the highest honour a Scout can achieve – while 50 received gallantry
awards for outstanding bravery in saving the lives of others.
Wearing a pale green, Karl Ludwig coat and matching hat by
Peter Sommerville, the Queen –
who is patron of the Scout Association – was accompanied by the Duke of
Edinburgh at the ceremony, which was lashed by heavy wind and rain.
She
was met and introduced by television star Grylls, who is Chief
Scout and described the day as his favourite in the scouting calendar.
To earn the Queen’s Scout Award
youngsters, aged between 16 and 25, need to have completed a range of
tasks including an expedition in wild country, spend at least five days
undertaking a residential product, as well as helping in their
community.

Owen Griffiths,
aged nine, from Northolt, west London, received the gallantry award for
his swift response to his mother Lucinda having a stroke in their home.
Owen, who had to look after his
18-month-old sister Tamzin, phoned his grandmother for help and cared
for his mother while help arrived.
Ms Griffiths said: ‘Owen was so brave that day – I am so very proud of him.
‘I cried when I found out about the award, he did so well.’
Erin
Billington, 18, from Leicestershire, said: ‘One of the best bits of
achieving my Queen’s Scout Award was my residential experience.
‘I
spent a week with Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service learning how to wire
up hoses from hydrants into engines, how to extinguish a fire and how to
rescue people from a burning building.

‘I also completed my expedition in the Yorkshire Dales.
‘Hiking through the countryside with my mates and everything you need on your back is my idea of scouting.’
Normally the review involves only UK Scouts but this year it included youngsters from as far afield as Uganda, Belize and St Lucia.
Bear Grylls said: ‘All these young people have lived the adventure of a lifetime to achieve their Queen’s Scout Awards, and I admire that spirit so much.
‘They are huge inspirations to all the other Scouts in the UK and I am so pleased that Scouting has honoured them today. They are amazing.’

I guess when the Queen went up to Bear, she would have said “U da Man!!!”

Two experts on how to kill living creatures. He kills to survive and she kills for fun.

:::::: As an ex pat I have never heard of Bear Grylls :::::: Have a look for Man vs Wild. You can find episodes on the web. As for Scouts, I’d rather hear about them than yet another hoodie or chav with tats and a fake tan

Bear Grylls is a good man. I don’t care what people say about him using hotels etc during filming of Man vs Wild. By showing survival techniques, he has saved many peoples lives because they have remembered what he has shown / taught them. He is a fantastic role model for the scout movement and a great ambassador for the country. I greatly admire Bear, he is a “Great British” person. Long may his work continue.

The Scout Movement is a reminder that not all kids today stay at home and play computer games and act anti-socially. It is one of the last bastions of teaching children important life lessons whilst letting them be kids. Long may it continue!

As an ex pat I have never heard of Bear Grylls, but how wonderful to have a Chief Scout who is a tv celeb. That kind of role model is long overdue for our kids.
