Bear Grylls will be the UK’s youngest
Chief Scout, aged 34. Whether it is crossing oceans in an open boat,
scaling Mount Everest or flying a powered paraglider to 29,000ft in the
Himalayas, Bear knows a thing or two about adventure. 

As
an ex Special Forces soldier, he is not only known around the world as
the host of the hit TV series Born Survivor and Man Vs Wild, he is also
an inspirational speaker, best selling author of nine books and a
fervent supporter of young people getting out there to experience
adventure for themselves. 

Bear got his taste for the outdoors
as a Scout, whilst a young boy. He was taught to climb by his late
father on the sea cliffs of the Isle of Wight, and this interest
rapidly developed when he left school. 

His military service
saw him trained in combat survival, parachuting, demolitions, trauma
medics and mountain warfare as a trooper with 21 SAS. 

During
one parachute jump he sustained a massive injury breaking his back in
three places. After intense military rehabilitation, he made a full
recovery and went on to become one of the youngest climbers ever to
reach the summit of Everest and has led numerous other expeditions
around the world. 

‘Honoured to be offered this position’
When
invited to take on this role with the UK’s largest co-educational youth
movement Bear said ‘I feel so honoured to be offered this position, and
have always held such admiration for Scouts and all they do around the
world. The Scouting Movement is a massive force for good, touching
many, many young lives. Above all, it gives millions of kids the chance
to live and learn about the wild and to experience real adventure. My
hope is to help Scouts of all ages, including adults, to reach their
full potential, to follow their dreams and to enjoy the camaraderie
that the Scouts is famous for. 

'In
particular I want to continue the inspirational work that the current
Chief Scout Peter Duncan has begun by showing the public how Scouting
continues to open young people’s eyes to a world of extraordinary
promise and possibilities.'

This is not Bear’s first volunteer
role. He is also an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust and is Vice
President of the Journey of a Lifetime Trust, which helps young people
from troubled backgrounds experience the 'journey of a lifetime'. 

Bear also balances his demanding life with a young family. Married to Shara, he 
has three sons all aged under six. 

A global ambassador for a global movement
Scouting
is a global movement and Bear has travelled extensively to every
continent in the world. Known and respected in many countries outside
the UK he is truly a global ambassador for a global movement. His
languages include Spanish and French, and he has a deep respect for
diverse faiths and cultures.

‘I can't wait to meet as many of
the UK’s Scouts as I can,’ says Bear. ‘Supporting and representing our
members is a huge privilege, and I want all Scouts to know I am here
for them and willing to listen and help where I can.’
