Cambridgeshire Scouts is pleased to learn that HM King Charles has been announced as the new Patron of of The Scouts.
HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron. This is a great honour for the UK Scout movement.
Continuing a long tradition
The King takes on the role with immediate effect and 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.
Before His Majesty King Charles III, the post was previously held by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the duration of her 70 year reign.
