In Britain it's a Queens/Kings Scout or Guide (I once as a sea ranger shook Lady Baden Powell's hand - howzatt for trivia?) Jul 22 03, 5:55 AM

You cannot get any higher than Grand Scoutmaster according to http://www.worldscouts.free-online.co.uk/worldscouts/gmlist.htm Jul 22 03, 8:49 AM

We don't have boy scouts in the UK. We used to have, but not now. They're Scouts whether girl or boy - and our Scout group is 25% female. As for RANK, the highest I am aware of is Patrol Leader. Chief Scout's Award and Queen's Scout are awards, not ranks. They confer no authority. A Scout in the UK can't get Queen's Scout, anyway, under the new system. Scouts are 10 and a half to 14 years old, then they become Explorer Scouts, and then at 18 they enter Network, which is where the Queen's Scout work gets done. Boy Scout is a term used in the USA, where they have Girl Scouts as well. My section is Cubs - highest rank there is Sixer. Jul 22 03, 12:00 PM

Boy scouts do get older and can become Grand Scoutmaster. Therefore that must be the eventual highest rank they can achieve in scouting. Jul 23 03, 3:35 AM

It would be unusual for a British Scout to become Grand Scoutmaster - I presume that's an American rank. In the UK, the top bod is The Chief Scout - currently George Purdy. There haven't been Scoutmasters in the UK for years - in the Scout Association, anyway. I don't know about the so-called Baden Powell Scouts (if they are still going). I have never met up with any of them and prefer not to comment further on them. Jul 23 03, 3:58 PM
