Scouting in Popular Culture and Media

[ajherkert]

Hello Scouters. Posted my introduction story yesterday HERE if you want to learn more about me. 

In short, I've been a scout since 1992, third generation Eagle (2003), and now a (very stoked) Den Leader for my 5 year old.  I also did additional extra-curricular outdoor adult education and leadership work thru NOLS and YMCA Outpost program Camp Manito-wish YMCA.  My day job is in corporate media so here are a few questions about Scouting in popular culture and the Media:

1. Who is 'the most popular' Scout with an actual Scouting platform - Is it Bear Grylls? 
   1. are there other Scouts with on camera personalities like Bear Grylls that come to mind?
2. Are there any mini-series, novelas, or episodic content your Scouts just love?
   1. e.g. Tintin or anyone like him?
3. Any other Media / Popular Culture Scout references that come to your mind?

Thanks in advance for your input!!!

Dude...  I was a Den Leader...  Scouts are totally preoccupied with poop, zombies, and farts.  They will try to make it applicable to every adventure.
