3. Warwick Davis: Actor, television presenter, writer, director, comedian, producer and Scout Ambassador since 2018! ‘I have really fond memories of being a Cub Scout,’ says Warwick. ‘I was particularly proud of being made a sixer… I’m really happy now to encourage others to join, learn skills and have the same positive experience.

After visiting a Jamboree with Bear Grylls, David said ‘I haven’t been at a Scout Jamboree since 1982, when it was the 75th anniversary of Scouting.

14. JK Rowling: Writer. JK Rowling is the UK’s best-selling living author. She attended Brownies and Guides in Scotland and thinks Hermione Granger would make a good Guide: ‘I can easily imagine her in the Guides, given that she’s resourceful, highly motivated and eager to

learn. She might be a little over-competitive when it came to badges, though.’ She says her proudest Guiding memory was achieving her First Aid badge.

15. Tanni Grey-Thompson: Athlete and politician. She said ‘My experience in the Brownies was very much a ‘can do’ attitude. No sitting around and moaning. Just get on with it.’ Her time in Guiding helped prepare her to win six London Marathons and become a 16-time Paralympic medallist in wheelchair racing.

16. Clare Balding: Broadcaster, award-winning presenter, journalist, author and LGBT icon. Clare has won many awards for her journalism and television presenting work. Her experiences as a Girl Guide when she was younger helped her develop the communication skills she uses so successfully today.
