Kate Middleton toasts marshmallows with scouts as she plays important new royal role

The Duchess of Cambridge toasted the marshmallows while chatting with scouts at an outdoor camp socially far away to celebrate the transfer of an important new royal job.

The Queen is the patron of the organization.

Kate talks regularly about her love outside and volunteering with the scouts while she was in England.

Talking about her new appointment, Kate said: “For many children and young people, the Scout Association plays a key role in building relationships and developing the skills needed for success in later life.

“We are really pleased that on this occasion the Duchess Scout met with the volunteers and thanked them who have done so much to support the youth during the epidemic.

“Scouting is more important than ever, giving young people a sense of life skills, connectivity and recognition, and supporting communities in areas of deprivation that are incompletely affected by COVID-19.”
