Meanwhile, post-doctoral research assistant, Doctor Laurie Berrie commented: “”Access to cohort studies, such as the Aberdeen Children of the 1950s, is invaluable.

“They allow us to better understand how aspects of childhood can have an impact on a person much later in life and informing how we might take action to improve lives.”

The study, meanwhile, has been a rout for the scouts, demonstrating the long term positive impact of being part of one of these organisations.

Chief executive of the Scouts, Matt Hyde, said: “”Every week, 420,000 young people take part in Scouts, having adventures and developing life skills. “This study proves what we already know – being a Scout is good for you.

“Young people who participate in Scouts are 35% more likely to have self-reported excellent health at age 50 compared to their peers. Scouts is also a route to greater social mobility over someone’s lifetime. Scouts is a cost-effective way of improving the health of the population, and its needed now more than ever.”
