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.
