Jamie Oliver has been honoured with a badge from the Scout Association for his healthy eating campaign in schools.

Oliver is one of several celebrities to receive an honorary Scout badge to celebrate the movement's 101st birthday.

All have made significant achievements which reflect the skill and knowledge needed to attain a Scout badge.

Other recipients on the list include Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman, Ray Mears and 14-year-old diving prodigy Tom Daley.

On receiving his badge Oliver said: "I'm honoured to get this from the Scouts, but I'm also really pleased that thousands of young people are being encouraged to learn about food and cooking through the Scouting movement.

"I hope they will develop their passion for food into adulthood so that they can look after themselves and their families with some decent cooking."

Boorman was given the navigator award along with McGregor for their Long Way Down and Long Way Round television shows.

Boorman said: "Ewan and I are delighted to receive this award from the Scout Association, as navigation is so important to the trips we take.

"I hope that our expeditions inspire young people to go out and experience different countries and cultures for themselves."

Survival expert Mears was awarded an outdoor adventure badge.

Peter Duncan, Chief Scout, said: "These individuals have all been identified by a panel of Scouts as positive role models for young people toda
