The UK's new scout chief has credited the group for providing him with a place to "belong" after he survived a stabbing and an attempted shooting during his youth.

Explorer and presenter Dwayne Fields, from North London, was the first black Briton to reach the North Pole.

He first attended a Scouts meeting in Palmers Green, north London, when he was seven, and said: "I never thought I belonged anywhere until the moment I walked into that hut."
