A 21-YEAR-OLD has become the first man from Tenbury to become a Queen’s Scout.

Oliver Wall of Broadmeadow in Stoke Bliss, a former pupil of Tenbury High School, has become the first member of 1st Tenbury Scouts to obtain a Queen's Scout Award.

He took part in the St George’s Day Parade of Queen’s Scouts at Windsor Castle.

The Band of the Scots Guard accompanied the Scouts in their march from the Royal Mews into the Castle Quadrangle were they formed ranks.

They were then joined by 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Band and the Corps of Drums from the 13th Coventry Scout Group.

HRH Prince Michael of Kent reviewed the parade accompanied by the Chief Scout Bear Grylls.

The parade then marched to St George’s Chapel in the castle grounds for the National Scout Service.

Oliver has completed two years of a four-year Degree Course at Newcastle University, studying Mechanical Engineering.

At present he is on a gap-year, working at Torness Nuclear Power Station. He keeps his involvement with scouting, assisting with the Newcastle Scouts and Eyemouth Scouts in Scotland.

In 2014, Oliver was presented with the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award at St James Palace by HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

As part of the award, he achieved a Merit in ABRSM Grade 1 Piano, fulfilled the requirements for BCU 2 Star in a kayak and completed a 50-mile hike in the Cambrian Mountains.

Oliver also spent 10 days in France researching the French Revolution and organised and ran a three-day environmental project clearing a disused Scout Hut so it could host a new group.
