Queen Scout Award Interview with Hannah Kentish

Explorers, National Events, News, Scout Network, YouShape

I interviewed UK Youth Commissioner, Hannah Kentish, on top of a mountain within the Arctic Circle.

The Queen Scout Award is the highest award a young person can achieve and consists of nights away, skill, physical activity and service sections followed by an expedition and a residential experience.
