Thanks for posting Ladyfinn and Iceflower, the king seems to be enjoying himself (was a member of a Scouting-like organisation for a couple of years, so i always like to see stuff like this ;) )

Baden Powell Fellowship's brochure, the text from the king with is photo is there
"Please join me! Robert Baden-Powell, the Founder was a genius. He believed that young people could learn for themselves, develop leadership skills and frame their own values through fun, adventure and the challenge of Scouting.
Today, his message lives-on in over 35 million young people in more than 162 countries, having touched some 700 million Scouts during its 100 years of action.
I was a Scout, thanks to my parents who were both involved in Scouting. They led me onto the right path, in my early years. I am passionate to be involved in Scouting because I have seen its impact on my life, and I see it in thousands of Scouts I meet every year throughout the world. Scouting is good for young people and vital for communities.
Many people share my belief and have joined me in the World Baden-Powell Fellowship.
I hope you also are prepared to make a commitment to support Scouting and keep the dream of Baden-Powell alive”.

King Carl Gustaf gave today an audience to Katarina Hedberg, Secretary General of the Swedish Scout Movement, who presented him the new Secretary General Petra Lindskog.
The king also received a copy of the Lägerelds report, a publication written by children and young people in Sweden to make adults act on which is the most important to the country's more than two million Swedes between 8 and 25 years old.

Historian Herman Lindqvist writes at his chronicle in Svensk Damtidning about how the king became a scout.

Herman Lindqvist: The king is forever a scout - and always prepared
Several times each year, King Carl Gustaf attends various scout events. He is honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation and is photographed every year at any major scout camp in some remote corner of the world. Many may think that the king should have grown out of his scout shirt a long time ago.
The truth is that the king will never leave the scouts - he "is always prepared". Scouting was the opening for him to the world, freedom and adventure beyond the Palace, the court, the protocol and the compulsion. The king tells that it was his mother, Princess Sibylla, who persuaded him to go to the first scout meeting.
Both the king's father prince Gustaf Adolf and Sibylla were active scout leaders and the king's mother thought Carl Gustaf would be also.
The king told me that at the age of nine he went very reluctantly and dutifully to the meeting at Blasieholmen. It became a success. For the first time, he met happy and relaxed young people who did fun things. The king has always loved to be in the woods and fields, here every meeting became an adventure.
At the Palace he was surrounded by women alone; sisters, mother and nannies. At the scouts there were boys of same age and leaders who taught useful things. He got the scout name "Mowgli". The king told that when he came home from the meetings he was often so excited: "I wanted to manage myself, cook my own dinner, so I warmed a jar of sausage or a jar of ravioli!"
Now the king has been the honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation for over 40 years.
