During their visit near the shores of Lake Windermere, the Princess joined a group of enthusiastic young people from 1st Buddha’s Light Scout Group in Greater Manchester. Kensington Palace released a video to mark the outing.
Together, they explored the natural surroundings while discussing how time spent in nature can be transformative—especially for young people. From boosting confidence to developing life skills and promoting wellbeing, the outdoors plays a crucial role in youth development.

As part of the visit, the Scouts took on a challenge to earn their Naturalist Badge, guided by the Princess and Dwayne. The outing highlighted the important work of organizations like @UKScouts in helping young people connect with the natural world and grow through meaningful outdoor experiences.
