All around the globe his travel has been followed by fellow Scouts, and he will be inspiring people in all nations.

If as a leader you are in need of some inspiration then let this space mission be a start of what a Scout could achieve. The UK Space Agency and the Scout Association have worked on a fantastic resource pack to introduce Scouts to the exciting and growing world of space engineering and space science.
