..........I believe the Scout Movement will regret associating itself with him and it's only a matter of time before we here of some kid coming to grief copying his "hero"....
I certainly would not employ him!

Personally I wonder if its the man we have a problem with, or his 'boss' who is only interested in making plenty of money from the TV program and merchandise.
Couldn't disagree more matey. Firstly, the Scout website and phone lines went into meltdown with enquiries about the Scout Association when he was announced. I was at his swearing in (an Explorer Camp) and I didn't see any youngsters not cheering or wanting to meet him. He also did a hush hush photo opportunity before he was announced and he did crate staking with a youngster and had all the appropriate safety gear on....As if the Scout Association would risk it's reputation by allowing anything other than total safety for the young people!
The Scout Association has just announced this competition

Are you telling me that Scouts won't be excited by this?
Bear wasn't just approached for the position because of his outdoor image, his natural manner with people and his strong faith were also contributing factors too.
It's been mentioned before but what about Ray's shelter that he built in the Rockys(?) which involved probably 18 live trees being chopped down (for a TV show demo) and which he then left up!
Oh, and one other thing...Bear's not employed by the Scout Association he's an unpaid volunteer.
