I'm please to share with you the appointment of Kenny Lee as District Lead Volunteer for Southern Europe, taking over from Jordan. Whilst based in the UK, Kenny is regularly in Spain on business and building upon his 2 years as Deputy District Commissioner, Kenny will be continuing the positive work in developing and supporting Southern Europe District.

Nathan Prince
Area Lead Volunteer

Scouting has always been a large part of my life and I have been involved since Cubs at 8 years old.

For almost 2 years I have been the Deputy District Commissioner for Southern Europe where my time was spent supporting the new and smaller Groups across the District.

I have also been the Group Scout Leader for a large group in east Scotland for the past 20 years, having previously scouted in South London and the Forth Valley.

I have led various contingents to jamborettes in Andalucia, Blair Atholl, Florida and Gibraltar.

Professionally, I work within financial services and lead a team based in the UK and Spain. Consequently I spend quite a bit of time working in both Spain and the UK.

I am delighted to take on the lead volunteer role for the Southern Europe District.

BSO Southern Europe experience Total Eclipse

By Graham Eden • August 15, 2026

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.
