Lead Volunteers

Konrad Bishop
District Lead Volunteer

Konrad has been involved in Scouting for much of his life, first as a Cub, Scout and Venture Scout, and later as a Beaver Leader while completing his PhD.

He returned to Scouting around ten years ago, joining 4th South Lambeth Scout Group as a Beaver Leader before going on to lead the Cub section. He later became Joint Group Lead Volunteer, helping to support the Group’s growth and development.

Konrad is now Lambeth District Lead Volunteer alongside Remy. Together, they are committed to supporting volunteers, strengthening Scout Groups across the District and enabling more young people to enjoy the opportunities, adventure and personal development that Scouting offers.

Outside Scouting, Konrad works as a civil servant and lives in South London with his husband and son.

Remy Maxwell-Thompson
District Lead Volunteer

Remy joined 4th Streatham Sea Scouts in 2013 as a 9-year-old Cub, and has moved up through Scouts, being a Young Leader, and now a volunteer.

As joint District Lead Volunteer since Summer 2025, Remy works with Konrad to oversee Scouting across all of Lambeth.

Outside of Scouts, Remy studies Psychology with Neuroscience at university!
