Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! 🥳🌍⚜️

A lifelong champion of nature, curiosity, and adventure — his early experiences as a Cub Scout, Scout, and later Senior Scout helped spark his love for the natural world.

He once said: “I remember my time as a Wolf Cub very well indeed… We learned a lot of useful things and had a great deal of fun.”

Thank you, Sir David, for inspiring generations to explore, discover, and protect our planet. 🌱
