In 2009 Bulpitt became the first UK Chief Commissioner of The Scout Association.[8] This was a new role in Scouting after altering the original Chief Scout role to become more focused on the promotion of scouting, leaving the managerial role to the UK Chief Commissioner.[9] Bear Grylls was appointed Chief Scout at the same time Bulpitt was appointed UK Chief Commissioner.[8] At the end of his term, Bulpitt was replaced in the role by Tim Kidd in August 2016.[3]
In March 2014, during Scouting Ireland's National Council in the Sliver Springs Hotel, Cork City, Ireland, Bulpitt was given the highest order given to a Scouter within Scouting Ireland, the Order of CúChulainn.
Bulpitt was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to the Scout Association.[10]
