78TH BP Fellowship Dinner & Recognitions
The Gala Dinner at Stockholm City Hall
The week culminated on the evening of May 9 with a gala dinner at Stockholm City Hall, bringing together BP Fellows, Scouts, and distinguished guests for a celebration of impact, service, and continuity.
A key moment of the event saw His Majesty announce that USD 9.6 million had been raised for the King’s Fund, which will open doors to Scouting across the globe, empower young leaders, and help build peace and inclusion where they're needed most. As a symbol of this extraordinary investment, His Majesty presented 9.6 million seeds to two, young Swedish Scouts.
In his remarks, His Majesty encouraged continued commitment to the Movement’s mission:
“Every young person we reach…helps build bridges and contributes to a more peaceful future.”
During the evening, His Majesty formally handed over the role of Honorary Chair of the World Scout Foundation to His Royal Highness The Grand Duke of Luxembourg, marking a significant transition for the Foundation and our BP Fellowship.
“It has been my honour to serve as an Honorary Chairman,” said His Majesty. “Please extend to [His Royal Highness] your generous support and Scout friendship.”
Now serving as Honorary Chair, His Royal Highness brings a lifelong connection to Scouting, having been a Scout since his formative years and an active member of the Foundation’s Board. In this role, he will work alongside BP Fellows, partners, and supporters to build on the strong momentum established over decades of leadership.
