I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Peter Duncan is due to complete his tenure as Chief Scout in 2009. I also mentioned at the time that I thought Ray Mears would be an excellent replacement.
It would seem that Facebook people would like to see Richard Hammond as Chief Scout. Now, I’ve got nothing against the guy, but would you really want someone who has to associate with Clarkson as the Chief Scout. Admittedly, he’s regularly in the press (mainly because he can’t get in a car without crashing it) and on TV (Top Gear, obviously) but I don’t see how a car journalist has anything in common with Scouting.
At least Ray Mears lives the outdoor life, using his skills to live off the land, not tearing it up in the latest Lamborghini or Ferrari. I still say Ray Mears. I might even start an apposing Facebook group for Ray Mears to become CS. Would you join?
