Wayne Bulpitt announced as new UK Chief Commissioner
17/05/2009
Wayne Bulpitt is the new UK Chief Commissioner of The Scout Association. Wayne will work in partnership with new Chief Scout Bear Grylls to continue building on Scouting’s success of recent years.
Like Bear, Wayne Bulpitt’s Scouting began as a Cub Scout. ‘I am delighted to have been invited to take on this new role at such an exciting time,’ said Wayne.
‘The successes of the last few years mean that we are well placed to make the most of a high public profile and fulfil our vision of providing personal development and exciting opportunities to increasing numbers of young people.’
Wayne will focus on managing and leading all volunteers within the movement, while Bear will provide inspirational leadership and increase Scouting’s national profile.
Wayne will also help to further external relationships with political parties, Scouting ambassadors and related organisations.
Providing adventure to the UK’s young people
Wayne and Bear join 100,000 Scout volunteers who give up their time to provide adventurous activities to 400,000 6-25 year olds.
Scouting is more popular than ever, with adult volunteering increasing at the fastest rate for 23 years and just as many girls as boys now joining Scouting. Despite this, demand still outstrips supply and waiting lists remain at an all-time high due to the need for more adult volunteers.
By volunteering for Scouting you not only benefit from supporting young people, you also gain from developing yourself.
There are lots of flexible volunteering opportunities.
