Duchess Kate gets a special new role as she steps out to visit Scouts in London

<strong><a href=/tags/0/kate-middleton>Duchess Kate</a></strong> is a former Brownie and Girl Guide, so it makes sense that she's been quite involved with the Scouts during her time as a royal. <P>The mom of three stepped out to visit a Scouts group in Northolt, London on Sept. 29, and it coincided with her being given a brand new role as joint president of the Scouts Association with the <strong><a href=/tags/0/duke-of-kent>Duke of Kent</a></strong>! <p>"For many children and young people, The Scout Association plays a key role as they build relationships and develop the skills they need to succeed in later life," Kate said in a statement about the role. <p>"When I volunteered with the Scouts on Anglesey eight years ago, I was struck by the huge impact the organisation has on inspiring young people to support their communities and achieve their goals. <p>"I am delighted to be joining the Duke of Kent as joint president of the Association and look forward to working with Scouts across the country as they strive to make a positive difference to our society." <p>During her visit on Sept. 29, the duchess spoke with children about how scouting is making a difference in their lives. She also got the opportunity to make arts and crafts and roast marshmallows! <p><strong>Scroll through the gallery (or click through if you're on desktop) to see the best photos from Kate's day!</strong> <p>Photo: &copy; Daniel Leal-Olivas/WPA Pool - Getty Images
Kate was all smiles as she arrived at the event.
