Welcome Southern Europe’s new Deputy District Commissioner (People)

August 14, 2022

I am delighted to announce and welcome Kenny Lee to the Southern Europe Team as Deputy District Commissioner (People) to support our GSL’s and Adult Volunteers with their development and support needs.  Kenny has been Scouting since Cubs when he was 8 years old and been a member ever since.Kenny is passionate about both young people and adults getting the most out of scouting whether through increasing confidence, learning new skills, improving existing skills, whilst having fun and making lifelong friends.More recently, Kenny has been the Group Scout Leader (GSL) for a large group in east Scotland for the past 15 years, however before this scouted in London and the Forth Valley.Kenny has also led various contingents to jamborettes in Florida, Spain and Gibraltar.


Professionally, Kenny works within financial services and leads a team based in the UK and Spain.  Kenny spends quite a bit of time working in Spain (especially in the winter) so is well positioned to support our Spain based groups during his travels and also our various other groups within the District where he is looking forward to meeting and working with everyone.


Please join me in welcoming Kenny to Team Southern Europe !!!

We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries. If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards. This is what our young people have to say from previous events; I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because… “It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” - Morgan, Paris Explorers “I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts “It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers “It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts “I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers “You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers “It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts “It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;
