Celebrating the Chief Scout’s Scouting’s Unsung Heroes – 2023

Date: 12th Dec 2023 Author: David Briston

We’re so proud of all our Scouts who’ve earned an Unsung Heroes Award this year from Chief Scout, Bear Grylls.

On Friday 8 December, the recipients and their families got together at the Bear Grylls Adventure at Birmingham NEC. They were recognised personally by Chief Scout Bear Grylls for their achievements.

Ranging in age from 5 to 23, these amazing young people earned their awards for a variety of skills and endeavours. Whether they fundraised, used their emergency aid skills, or showed incredible resilience, they’ve received a £500 prize, funded by Bear himself, along with a certificate, Never Give Up badge, neckerchief and copy of Bear’s new book – Do Your Best: How to be a Scout.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
