Kate Middleton’s latest royal stop trumps even her high-profile visit to the U.S. earlier this month — in my opinion, at least.
Today she visited a newly established Scout group in east London to lend a hand to the U.K. Scout Association’s “Better Prepared” campaign, which brings Scouting to young people living in low-income areas.
In January 2012, I blogged about the Duchess’ new role as volunteer with the U.K. Scout Association. And in March 2013, she did what every Scout volunteer should: She got trained.
Today, Kate, who is pregnant with her second child, is at it again. She’s wearing a black Scouting hoodie with jeans and boots as she visits a group of 6- to 8-year-old Scouts.
Everything Her Royal Highness does is big news overseas, of course, so you can follow all the fun in The Daily Mirror‘s minute-by-minute blog.
My take: What’s good for U.K. Scouting is good for World Scouting. So let’s give a big hand to Kate and the Scout Association for making a difference in the lives of youth.
