UK NEWS - Bear Grylls appointed to army recruiting role by Charlie


One minute he’s baptising Russell Brand and talking about ‘love’ – the next he’s preparing teenagers to serve the war machine. No contradiction there, then...


King Charles has appointed Bear Grylls to a new Army role while making the TV adventurer a figurehead for new young recruits.

The survival expert has been given the title of Honorary Colonel of the Army Foundation College (AFC) in Harrogate and his new role will see him lead as a key figure of inspiration for incoming members.

On July 11, Grylls took to social media to share the news of his latest role within the college that prepares young Brits to serve in the Armed Forces, alongside a photo of himself donning his new camouflage uniform.

He wrote: ‘So proud to have been appointed Honorary Colonel of the Army Foundation College by His Majesty The King.

‘An Army Basic Training organization, the AFC builds the character, competence, and resilience of young people to help them succeed in life and within the military.

‘No matter where you come from, if you’re willing to do your best and live by the Army’s values and standards, then the College offers adventure, challenge, qualifications, friends for life, and confidence that will last a lifetime,’ he added.

‘Watch this space for many adventures ahead’.


Grylls, a former Territorial Army SAS soldier, and the current Chief Scout, is also an Honorary Colonel of the Royal Marines Reserve – a post he has held since June 2021.

The TV presenter’s first official duty within his new role will be as senior inspecting officer at the college’s August graduation, which is set to oversee 600 junior soldiers marching before starting the next phase of their training.

AFC(H)’s Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Mike Butler said that everyone at the unit was ‘thrilled’ by the appointment of Colonel Bear, as he will be known informally.

‘An inspirational character for Junior Soldiers, Colonel Bear shares our passion for helping young people grow and develop, especially in confidence and resilience,’ Butler said.

‘His message of ‘Courage, Kindness, and Never Give Up’ is a perfect match for the British Army values and standards we strive to live by.

‘We can’t wait to work with Colonel Bear as he shares in the exciting and rewarding journey of the Army’s youngest recruits.’ Read More
