Hell replace bear grylls, whos standing down after 15 years, and says scouting changed his life as a boy. 0ur correspondent, sophie long, watched him make his promise. Thank you, dwayne. You are now officially our 11th Chief Scout. Applause. Welcoming the new leader of their pack. Hes already a well known face to some who follow the Explorer And Television presenter on social media. Dwayne fields swapped a life in ruraljamaica for an estate in East London at the Tender Age of six. When he became a scout, it restored his hope for the future and put him on a path that led all the way to the north pole. Now, he says, its his chance to give back. When i was a kid, becoming a scout made the world of difference to me. I remember being a seven year old kid approaching that Scout Hut not far from here, just up the road in north london, and, you know, being scared, anxious, so shy i couldnt speak to anyone. And i remember walking out of that Scout Hut feeling like i was ten feet tall because i was believed in and i had been given the ability to believe in myself as well. My confidence grew. Hes stepping into some pretty big shoes. Bear grylls is the outgoing Chief Scout. At 3a, he was the youngest man to take on the role, having already climbed everest. Announcing he was stepping down after 15 years, he said being Chief Scout had been the greatest honour of his life. Scouting has a long history in britain and around the world. It was in london more than 100 years ago, Lord Baden Powell was unanimously acclaimed Chief Scout of the world, a title no other Chief Scout has held since. The movement has come a long way since, with generations learning Life Skills with Volunteer Scout leaders. In 1976, the venture scouts, now known as explorers, opened their doors to young women, but it wasnt until 2007 that it became mandatory for all sections to let girls in. Now it is fully inclusive and young people of all backgrounds are actively encouraged to get involved. Its notjust camping and canoeing anymore. There are 7,000 Scout Groups across the country offering activities from coding to Community Projects to around half A Million young people. So what do they think of their new leader . He seems like such a genuine person and hes really, really passionate for scouting, which is really nice to see and i think hes going to do a greatjob. As he was a scout as a child, so he knows the experiences that people would like to go through. Ilove him. I got to meet him in the World Scout Jamboree last year and he was amazing. He really connected with us and was really inspirational| so i think hes going to be great for the movement. The scouts� motto is of course be prepared but nowadays thats as much about being prepared to ask big questions and listen with open minds as it is about bringing a pen knife.

The national Bee Unit says its in a race against time as it tries to destroy asian Hornet Nests in Kent And Sussex before new their queens hatch later this month. The invasive species is known to wipe out bee colonies. So far this year ten nests have been found in englands South East, but in the Channel Islands theyve found a creative way to tackle the threat. Fiona irving went to check it out. Hundreds of miles from kent on the channel island ofjersey, a war is being waged against the asian hornet. It was first spotted here in 2016. Last year, more than 200 nests were found and lanced with pesticides. And they need to be controlled. 0ne Nest of Asian Hornets can kill 11 kilograms of insects in a season. They pose a significant threat to Honey Bees and other pollinators. Just take a look at the size of this nest. This would have been home to a colony of around 3,000 Asian Hornets, and beekeepers from Kent And Sussex are coming tojersey to learn what they do here, to help them in the south East Fight against this invasive species. On this small island, Theyve Become Experts on this apex predator. Tiny blob of glue on the thorax of the hornet. This is tinsel tagging, or streamering, a technique pioneered on the island to help track the asian hornet as it flies home. With the naked eyes, you can probably see that hornet for 200 or 300 metres flying and with, binoculars even further. Whereas before, normally, without without a streamer attached like that, youd be lucky to see them go more than 30, a0 metres before youd lose sight of them. Weve got the one up the road there. Nicky is one of an army of Hornet Hunter volunteers injersey. Shes timing how long streamered hornets take to return to her bait station. Streamer was three minutes, which implies 300 metres away. It sounds like its quite addictive, doing this. Oh, it is addictive. And its a challenge. And some some of the territory is a challenge as well. Um, but yes, you do. Its like being a detective. A Hornet Detective put her in there. Thats it. Back in the uk, Bee Inspectors mark the hornets with different colours to help identify them when they return to the bait station. The South East is seen as the home guard, protecting the rest of the country from an asian hornet invasion. And those on the Front Line say they need more foot soldiers to help in that fight.

Very misty, murky conditions, though, in bristol, where weve seen Rain Pushing in earlier on in the night and into South Wales as well, with some thunderstorms, too. Thats going to be clearing away later, and its going to be quite a warm start to saturday, muggy as well. And because of that weve got extensive low clouds, some mist and some fog around for england and wales, so things may improve a little. It may cheer up a bit, but there may not be too much sunshine around more cloud producing a few showers here and there. Looks dry for scotland, northern ireland, sunny for the most part, but that low cloud retreating back to the East Coast of scotland keeping it cooler here. But in the sunshine in scotland, and northern Ireland Temperatures again into the mid 20s, and it may warm up where we get a bit of sunshine in east anglia, although not as warm as it was on friday.

Drier for scotland and northern ireland, some clear spells, but also some mist and low cloud, again, filtering through the Central Belt of scotland and lingering along the East Coast of scotland.
