Welcome to BSO: Reuben Sellers

February 18, 2024

I'm delighted to welcome Reuben to Team BSO. Reuben will be taking over leading the Young Leader's scheme for BSO from Victoria Mitchell. I'm greatly looking forward to how we can build on the strong foundations Victoria has put in place and support more young people in developing leadership skills and skills for life as well as working towards their Young Leader awards.

A short introduction frm Reuben;


I’m Reuben, I’m from Scotland and I’ve recently moved to the Netherlands to start the next chapter in my life.

Scouting has always been a massive part of my life since I was a wee cub in my local village to, becoming an explorer leader in Glasgow. I’ve been a leader now for 8 years working mostly with explorers and training young leaders. I can’t wait to help deliver YL to BSO and give the next generation of young people the skills they need to become the best leaders possible.


 I have been all over the world with scouting and now have friends all in all sorts of places. I’ve been to loads of jamborees, but my favourite will always be Blair Atholl jamborette in Scotland. Scout camp is truly my favourite place to be, and you will always find me at campfire singing at the top of my voice!


I spend almost all my free time outside on one of my many hobbies such as: skating boarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, slacklining or climbing.
