Date: 22nd Jan 2026 Author: Paul Snelling

We were pleased to present more top awards to some of our Explorers this week Tuesday 20th January 2026.

It takes a huge amount of effort to complete these awards and we’re extremely proud of our amazing young people who achieve all of the requirements.

In the last 12 months, we’ve awarded:
6 Chief Scout’s Platinum Awards
7 Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Awards
3 Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards (with 2 more very nearly completed)

Congratulations to everyone and our thanks again to Bures Music Festival who have generously funded the purchase of additional tents and compasses which are used for the expedition element of these awards.

Dwayne Fields proudly holds the title of the UK's 11th Chief Scout

An explorer, adventurer and TV presenter, Dwayne's been seen in BAFTA nominated Channel 5 series Race to the Pole, on BBC Springwatch, Countryfile, National Geographic and Disney+.
