Bear Grylls, an English adventurer and star of the reality series "Man vs. Wild," was named the youngest-ever Chief Scout of the Scout Association in 2009. Born Edward Michael Grylls, he developed an interest in karate, skydiving, and sailing during his teenage years. At the age of 23, in May 1998, he achieved a childhood dream by climbing to the summit of Mount Everest. His older sister affectionately nicknamed him "Bear" when he was just a week old.
