A message from Bear Grylls

Chief Scout Bear Grylls introduces the August/September issue of Scouting magazine, which contains a bushcraft special.

‘This time of year is especially exciting for Scouts as it the summer camping season.

I love camping and my kids seem to love it even more. It doesn’t have to be extreme; it just has to be an adventure. Sleeping out in a tent, with a fire, marshmallows and the pitter-patter of summer rain to accompany you is always an adventure, especially if you are a young Scout.
Don’t underestimate the power of simple pleasures like this, and remember that for  young Scouts it can be a powerful memory. How lucky we are as leaders to get the chance to give kids incredible adventure memories through simple wilderness experiences outdoors.
