Gilwell Reunion 2018 – Hannah Kentish

National Events, Reunion
Gilwell Reunion 2018 will see the first handover of the UK Youth Commissioner role as Hannah passes on the reigns to Ollie Wood. We caught up with Hannah to discuss her time as UK Youth Commissioner. After being appointed as the first ever UK Youth Commissioner Hannah has had many successes, not least building the role up from an idea to national, and international, prominence, however in Hannah’s words There are a number of things that I would say have been huge achievements in the role.

National Events, News

Adam & Martin from Scout Radio made their way into Central London to catch up with the wonderful Groups  manning the mile 11 drinks station as well as to cheer on all those running for Scouting. As a spectator you could not wish for a nicer day, and thousand lined the 26.2 mile route around the capital, runners were less impressed with the sun as it brought the hottest London Marathon on record.
