On the appointment of a new joint President of the Scouting Association

We have now moved into a new month here on Scouting and me so as part of this blogs remit is scouting today we begin the month with some good news.

It was announced Wednesday September 30th that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge would be joint President with the Duke of Kent of the Scouting Association, the main scouting body in the United Kingdom.

Here she is pictured with Cubs and Beavers in Northolt, Middlesex spending time with them where she also toasted marshmallows.

The Duchess has always taken both an interest in the outdoors and also in children, specifically play, development and welfare so it is most fitting she should take up such an important role.

She has been with Cubs before at various official engagements always feeling at home with and around them, so I would say there's a strong affinity.

Congratulations!
