Chris Tebb: New District Commissioner, Northern Europe

December 12, 2021

Following a competitive selection process, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Christopher Tebb (Chris) who is the new District Commissioner for Northern Europe District.

The selection team were impressed with his proven managerial skills and with his personable management style. After having several conversations with him, I know he will be a brilliant fit for the District and it’s a great bonus that he actually lives within the district. Here’s a little about him: Chris is a chartered member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and is currently a digital director at a British multi-national engineering management consultancy.

He is an Assistant Explorer Leader with the 1st Prague Scout Group having joined six months ago. He was a Beaver, Cub, Scout and Venture Scout at the 54th Portsmouth (Great Salterns) and has subsequently lived in the UK, UAE and Czech Republic.

Outside of Scouts he is a keen golfer and cricketer. Chris will take over from PK on the 1st January 2022. I’d also like to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to PK for all that he has done for the district and BSO over the last year.

Area Commissioner.

Youth Recruitment for World Jamboree

By Graham Eden • October 15, 2025

Could the World Scout Jamboree Be for You? The World Scout Jamboree is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, with tens of thousands of Scouts from all over the world. It’s about making new friends, trying new things, learning about different cultures, and discovering what you’re capable of. But it’s also a big commitment. It takes time, energy, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. This experience isn’t right for everyone, and that’s okay. There are lots of other amazing opportunities in Scouting, too. This description is here to help you decide if applying for the Jamboree is something you’d enjoy and grow from. What Kind of Young People Are We Looking For? There’s no such thing as a “perfect” Jamboree participant. We’re not looking for the loudest, the most confident, or the most experienced. We’re looking for a mix of people who are ready to: Be part of a team – listen, support others, and work together Try new things – even if they feel a bit scary at first Be open-minded – meet people from different backgrounds and cultures Get stuck in – whether it’s cooking dinner, putting up tents, or joining in activities Grow – learn about yourself, challenge yourself, and come back with stories to tell You don’t need to have done anything like this before. You just need to be up for the journey and be born between 30 July 2009 and 30 July 2013. What You’ll Be Expected to Do If you’re selected, you’ll be part of a Unit with other young people from your area. You’ll: Take part in training weekends and team-building activities Help fundraise for your place and support others in doing the same Represent your community and the UK at an international event Be ready to learn, laugh, and maybe even get a bit muddy! Still Not Sure? That’s okay. Talk to your leaders, your family, or someone who’s been to a Jamboree before. Ask questions. Think about what excites you and what worries you. This might be the right adventure for you, or it might not be. Either way, there’s something in Scouting for everyone.
