Charles Hector Fitzroy Maclean was born in London on 5th May 1916, and was educated at Canford School in Dorset. With a regular commission in the Scots Guards he served in the Guards Armoured Division and the 6th Guards Tank Brigade, seeing service in France (landing on the beaches of Normandy), Belgium, Holland and Germany. He was retired from the Army in 1947 with the rank of Major. His contact with Scouting dated back to his days as a Cub Scout in 1924, in London. After becoming Chief Scout in 1959, he visited some 50 countries to promote Scouting. In 1959 he was also appointed Chief Scout of the Commonwealth. Lord Maclean succeeded to the title of the 11th Baronet of Duart and Morvern in 1936, and as the 27th Chief of the Clan Maclean, resided in the ancient stronghold of the Clan, Duart Castle, on the Isle of Mull.
