Oor Wullie is heading on an adventure with Scottish Scouts to US Jamboree

HE’S normally seen scouting about on the lookout for PC Murdoch.

But Oor Wullie is set for another scouting adventure next summer – when he takes part in the 24th World Scout Jamboree.

The event will see 45,000 young adventurers gather from around the world in the US.

And the 240 going from Scotland are to be represented by The Sunday Post’s lovable comic strip stalwart.

It was the brainchild of Scout Scotland’s John Campbell.

He said: “We needed something that said Scottish-ness and nothing says that like Oor Wullie.”

Scott Mathieson, head of licensing at DC Thomson Media, said: “It is a fantastic chance to introduce Scotland’s favourite son to a whole new generation of young people.”
