Bear is a man who has always loved adventure. After breaking his back in three places in a parachuting accident, he fought his way to recovery, and two years later entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest, at the age of only 23.
He has since led ground-breaking expeditions across the world, and now at the age of 34 has become the 11th and youngest person to be appointed as Chief Scout.

On Sunday 25th January over 40 awards were presented to young members of East Grinstead, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Leaders. The awards recognise the experiences and developments young people have made during their time in the Scout Movement. Particularly notable was the presentation of the Queen’s Scout Award which is the highest award a young person can achieve and demonstrates a strong dedication and commitment to scouting and the wider community.
Have a look at this video to get an idea of just some of the things young people in our district have been up to over the last 12 months.
East Grinstead is located in West Sussex on the borders of Kent, Surrey and East Sussex. Scouting has been strong in the area since 1908 and in 2008 there were some 686 Scouters in the district including 564 youths.
We have been scouting in the area for 100 years - come and see what we do. If you are not already involved with scouting, come and join us
There are eight separate groups in the East Grinstead area. Locations of each and details of where and when they meet are set out on the group pages.
If you are thinking about designing your own scout website, or need somewhere to host your existing site, we can help.
For any scouting websites we are able to provide fully featured hosting at no charge.
