HRH The Duchess of Cambridge has become Scouting’s newest
volunteer and will help at local cub packs and beaver colonies, Clarence House
has announced.
The Duchess, who joins 66,000 girls and 40,000 female
leaders in Scouting, will help out at groups close to where she lives. Her
Royal Highness also hopes to help with activities in other parts of the United
Kingdom as opportunity arises.
The announcement comes as a great endorsement of
Scouting’s commitment to allow adults to volunteer their time on a flexible
basis. The Duchess will help run a variety of activities relevant to her skills
and interests. This could include running games, teaching first aid or cooking
on campfires.
Chief Scout Bear Grylls gave a delighted reaction to the
news: ‘The Duchess has an incredibly busy life, which makes it all the more
inspiring that she has chosen to volunteer alongside us.
‘Over the last few years it has been our mission to make
it easier for adults who volunteer with us to give as much or as little as they
are able – it is how we change our society: many people doing a little bit.’
