I am delighted to announce the appointment of Chris Wanley as the new Area Support Team Lead for British Scouting Overseas (BSO). We welcome Chris to BSO in this new role. Chris has a strong background in International Scouting having served for 16 years on the Kandersteg committee, whilst also being a apart of the UKHQ International Team, during David Bull’s tenure as International Commissioner, and more locally as Assistant County Commissioner (International) for West Mercia. Chris was also one of the early lead volunteers for the ScoutBase website created for UK Scouting in the 90s. Most recently Chris is currently volunteering as Group Treasurer of his local Scout Group.
Professionally, Chris is a Chief Information officer for a large organisation leading and managing remote teams.
Chris started his Scouting Adventures as a Cub and then Scout, before moving as a helper and then leader. The Moot in Sweden gave his first proper international Scouting experience, before falling in love with Kandersteg where he was on its Committee for 16 years,.
Please join me in welcoming Chris both to BSO and to his new role in leading our Support Team.
