The new chief Scout Peter Duncan has talked exclusively to us about the Essex International Jamboree.

TV action man and former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan has become the leader of the UK's 500,000 scouts.

HM The Queen meeting Peter Duncan in 2001 at the Blue Peter studio.

Peter Duncan, 50, also known from his 1980s Duncan Dares TV show and round-the-world adventures, will hold the Chief Scout post for five years.

He follows eight others who have held the position since Baden-Powell became the first in 1921.

The ex-wolf cub said the post gave him "the chance to contribute to the development of tomorrow's adults".

In an exclusive interview with BBC Essex Peter Duncan chatted to Simon Baldock about his past and the Essex International Jamboree.
