Joanna Lumley, Sir Chris Hoy, Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity and Dame Ellen MacArthur are among those credited in The Scout Association’s annual Scout Birthday Honours.
Fifteen Scout badges were awarded to a variety of individuals in the public eye to celebrate the Movement’s 102nd birthday on 1 August.
Our half a million Members were given the chance to vote online for public figures that have inspired young people and have contributed to society. The celebrities honoured have encouraged others to try new activities and learn new skills.
