As remarked upon a short while back the position of Chief Scout within the Scouting Association was due to undergo its usual rotation and on Friday it was announced Explorer and presenter Dwayne Fields aged 41 was to take over from Bear Grylls after his 11 year stint.
For Dwayne, scouting has been very much front and centre with his life coming over from Africa at the age of 6 to the U.K. and indeed he credits the Scout Hut as being the first place he truly felt he belonged in, helping him meet many challenges growing up.
Thus he makes a great choice as a person who by his very own life is inspirational showing that Scouting is for all and holds no barriers on the basis of race, colour or creed and improving on that awareness of inclusiveness tackling the idea that it isn't for them that persisits in some communities where as getting away, working together and finding new skills can be real game changer for them.
