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 !!!

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.
