Bear Grylls backs 'brilliant' teen given 'once in a lifetime' opportunity

A "brilliant" teenager has been picked to go on a "once in a lifetime" scouting mission in Korea.

Danny Jones, 15, has been rewarded for his extensive work in the community as part of 12th Wallasey Scout group. After joining as a Beavers at the age of five, Danny has now progressed to the role of young leader, and will get the opportunity to campaign for change on key world issues at next summer's World Scout Jamboree in SaeManGeum.

The event will see 50,000 young people from almost every nation on earth meet for a 12-day camp where they will learn new skills in the biggest scouting gathering since the Covid-19 pandemic began. And Danny, from Wallasey, couldn't be more thrilled to be making the 6,000-mile trip to South Korea.
