Hodder Faith to release Bear Grylls’s newest book on how to be a Scout

Do Your Best: How To Be a Scout by Bear Grylls

“Do Your Best” (Hodder Faith, April 16, 2024) by Bear Grylls is the handbook for every Scout, in which you’ll learn all the skills the scouts use to do their best in everything they do and set themselves up to face life head-on and make a real difference in the world.

The essential handbook for the scout in all of us

What more could you ask for, than a book stuffed like an overfilled rucksack with tips and tricks from one of the world’s most celebrated adventurers from pitching a tent, leading a team, how to keep fit, tie knots, memorize facts, identify trees, stars and birds, as well as learning real survival skills like putting up a tent in the wild and stashing your breakfast in ground to keep it hot for the next morning?

This is the book for anyone who is a Scout, was a Scout, or wants to be a Scout.

Not since Scouting for Boys, the seminal 1908 book by Robert Baden-Powell that sparked the global movement, has there been a single handbook for every Scout. Whoever you are it will help you step up, speak up, skill up and dream big.

Grab life with both hands, never give up and give life you your best shot with Do Your Best: How To Be a Scout. Stunningly typographically designed and richly illustrated, this will be the perfect gift for the adventurer in your life—young or old.

Chapters include:

  • How to Survive
  • How to give first aid
  • How to protect our planet
  • How to be an adventurer
  • How to predict the weather

And that’s just for starters!

“Hefty helpings of useful bits and motivational advice for enjoying the great outdoors.”
—Kirkus

“Do Your Best is the handbook for every Scout, young and old.”
—Clare O’Beara, FreshFiction

Bear Grylls is the author of over 85 books that have sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, including the No. 1 bestselling Mud, Sweat, and Tears. A former Special Forces soldier and Everest mountaineer, Bear starred in Discovery’s hit TV series Man vs. Wild for seven seasons, before hosting the National Geographic Channel series, Running Wild with Bear Grylls. This show has seen him take global stars such as Julia Roberts, Ben Stiller and even President Obama on adventures into the wild.
