Answer from page 13. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell British Army General and founder of The Boy Scots Movement. His experiences at Mafeking, in which young teenage boys were made into a "cadet corps" to carry messages, often under fire, thus relieving soldiers to serve at the front lines, convinced him of the worth of young boys in their patriotism and valour. Upon returning to England, he saw that British boys needed more physical training and outdoor experience than they were receiving in the then-existing youth programs, and in 1907, he started the Boy Scout movement. With the help of his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, he organized the Girl Guides (in many countries, the Girl Scouts) movement two years later. Scouting quickly spread to other nations, and Baden-Powell quickly became influential in setting up scouting movements across the globe, while organizing the International Scouting Council. He would retire from the Army in 1910, to devote himself to being the "Chief Scout of the World." His original book, "Scouting for Boys," is a combination of his philosophy of life and of his experiences in the Army, and contains many tips about living outdoors that he learned from native tribesmen. Although his book is heavily tailored on his wartime African experiences, Baden-Powell organized the Scouts to be scouts in peacetime, to learn those life skills that would enable teenagers to grow into worthwhile men and women and a credit to their society, no matter what their occupation would become. A bachelor most of his adult life, on October 30, 1912 he married Olave Soames, who shared his work in the Scouting movement, and they were active in World War I; they would have three children. In 1938, he retired to Nyeri, Kenya, where he died in 1941. His decorations include the Order of Merit, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, Knight Commander of the Victorian Order, Knight Commander of the Bath, and the title Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell,

Beat About The Bush:

The Funny Side of Language with Phil Woods & Steve Smith We’re Phil Woods and Steve Smith, comedy authors from the north-west. Each month in The Herald we’ll take a look at the latest things that have amused us, fresh from the early success of our new book. The book is a hilarious look at the funny things we all say in everyday life without thinking. Have you ever done anything till the cows come home, or opened a whole new can of worms? It’s highly unlikely, yet so many people like to say they have! The book looks at what people are really saying when they use such language, and looks at other areas of life where so-called ‘normal’ language is very funny when you think about it. As it’s February, we’ve got Valentine’s Day and Pancake Day on our minds. While St Valentine is well known for being a Christian martyr, little is known about St Pancake. Allow us to enlighten you. Flatterza Pancake was born in 1635 to a Lancashire mother and French father. As a child he was very withdrawn due to his father’s rage, though he was never battered. He left school with no qualifications but didn’t give a toss what people thought, so he set up his own business selling egg whisks. The clever advertising slogan for his products was ‘Beat The World’, which fitted his hope to one day ship them worldwide. After launching the business in Britain, the next step was to move into his father’s homeland, where ‘Beat The World’ was translated for the French market as ‘Battre Le Monde’. Pancake died a successful businessman in 1698, when he was cremated on a low heat until slightly browned on both sides. Sales of his whisks continued and in time ‘Battre le monde’ was anglicised to ‘Batter and lemon’, which is how Pancake Day is still commemorated. How enlightening! Just as important is this list of things to avoid saying if you’re planning a first date on Valentine’s Day: •I really think my attitude has changed. A couple of years ago I wouldn't have given someone like you a second look. •This restaurant isn’t as good as the one I was going to take you to, but I’ve got this 2 for 1 voucher. •Remind me to go to the bathroom at 7pm; I need to put my cream on. •What children’s names do you like? •I remember you from school. Have you put weight on? •That’s an interesting kiss. It's not how your sister does it. ‘Beat About The Bush: The Funny Side of Language’ is available now from your local independent bookshop, Waterstone’s and online at Amazon.
