New Area Scout Network Commissioner

June 23, 2022

I am pleased to announce that Becca Felgate has been appointed as Area Network Commissioner for BSO. She will continue to carry out her existing role as NE District Scout Network Commissioner.


Becca said


“I was a part of 3rd Molesey scout group whilst in the UK as an Explorer, Network and then supporter before moving to Sweden in 2015 where I joined 1st Djursholm first as a Scout Leader, and then over time the Explorer Scout Leader and GSL. 


I started the NE District Scout Network Commissioner role around May last year, and although we are still growing and finding our feet there has already been an enthusiastic response from Network members feeling connected and a part of a wider group. 


As with everything in BSO the fact that we are spread out across such distances makes a lot of things more challenging for us, but I am looking forward to about finding new and interesting ways to keep our Area and District Networks connected and active, whilst supporting our members through Top Awards.


Having been a Leader of BSO Unit 99 at the WSJ19 it has been so rewarding already to see lots of familiar faces from our Young People who are now adults and being able to follow their journeys into Network, as well as getting to know our new members around the world. 


I am delighted to see the development of our Area and District Networks, what I will learn along the way, and what our Network members are capable of achieving”.


Please can you join me in welcoming Becca to the role.

Originally posted at scouts.org.uk British Scouting Overseas share their experience seeing a total eclipse of the sun For lots of young people, 12 August 2026 was a special chance to watch the moon move between the Sun and Earth, blocking most or all of the Sun’s light. Here in Britain, we popped on our special safety glasses to see a partial eclipse just after 7pm last night. Other countries – such as Spain and Portugal – were treated to a total eclipse, where the Sun’s light is completely blocked.

I'm delighted to share the news that Theo Lasar has been appointed as our BSO Youth Lead. Theo will succeed Charlotte, who has given outstanding service as our BSO Youth Lead since 2022, at our AGM during Gilwell Reunion in September. Theo brings has a background of scouting within BSO having started as a Beaver in Telstar, going through all the sections locally in Luxembourg before joining Scout Network last year. On his appointment Theo says, "Having served as Deputy District Youth Lead for Northern Europe over the past year, I have had the opportunity to work alongside District Youth Teams, volunteers and, most importantly, Young People across BSO. As BSO Youth Lead, I look forward to building on that experience by working with the Leadership Team, District Youth Teams and Young People across the Area to continue strengthening youth-shaped Scouting and creating more opportunities for young people to shape their own Scouting experience." The BSO Youth Lead role helps to champion youth voice across Scouts, lead our Youth Team across BSO and contributes to BSO-level decision making as a member of our BSO Leadership Team and BSO Board of Trustees.. The role also supports us to deliver our strategic priorities, and we're confident Theo is the best person to help us do this. He is passionate about giving all young people a place to belong, delivering our strategy to 2035. We're incredibly thankful for everything Charlotte has done for BSO during her term in the role and look forward to celebrating her achievements in the future. We wish Theo every success in his new role Graham Eden BSO Lead Volunteer
