Overview

• The Princess of Wales and the First Lady met Squirrel Scouts from Lewisham at Frogmore Gardens during the US State Visit.
• They joined parachute games, leaf painting and bug‑hotel building before presenting the children with earned badges.
• A young Scout’s question to Melania Trump — “Are you the next princess?” — captured the playful tone of the visit, according to the Chief Scout.
• Children presented both visitors with Squirrels patches, and Fields gave his Chief Scout necker to the First Lady as a symbolic keepsake.
• Kate’s long association with the Scouts, including her role as Joint President since 2020, framed the youth-focused engagement, with some outlets also reporting honey-themed gifts for the children.
