On election to the position of the UK's Chief Scout: "Scouting is alive
and well in 21-century Britain. I can think of no better organisation
to provide a creative and challenging framework for the positive
development of young men and women. Getting involved in scouting as an
adult is about having fun and adventure mixed in with a real sense of
purpose. Being a leader gives people the chance to contribute to the
positive development of tomorrow's adults."
