Palle Huld (2 August 1912 – 26 November 2010)[1] was a Danish Boy Scout film actor and writer.

[2][3][4][5] The Danish newspaper Politiken held a competition in honour of Jules Verne which was open only to teenage boys.

[6] Huld left on his voyage on 1 March 1928, a journey that took him through the following countries, namely (besides Denmark): England, Scotland, Canada, Japan, Korea, China (Manchuria), the Soviet Union, Poland and Germany.

That year Huld published a book about his trip, A Boy Scout Around the World.

[7] Shortly after his homecoming he made an additional journey (now mostly dressed in his scout uniform) to Sweden, England (where he met Baden-Powell) and France (where he laid a bouquet of flowers at the grave of Jules Verne).
