bear-grylls_250x150TV adventurer Bear Grylls has become Britain’s Chief Scout.

And at 34, he’s the youngest person ever to get the gig.

Bear – who presents shows like Man Versus Wild and Escape The Legion – is calling it a “dream come true”.

He climbed Mount Everest when he was just 23.

He takes over from Peter Duncan – the old Blue Peter presenter.

Bear says he’s determined to find more scout leaders, so that more boys can join.
