"B. P." TO VISIT FAR EAST

LADY BADEN-POWELL AS WELL

Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, the Chief Scout, is to pay a visit to the Far East before the end of the year.

The news is unexpected because it was only a few months ago that Lord Baden-Powell was seriously ill and had to undergo two serious operations and take an extended sea voyage before he was restored to normal health. His decision to make the trip overseas is probably partly inspired by a desire to avoid the rigours and dangers of an English winter.

The Chief Scout and Lady Baden-Powell will leave London on October 27, in the Orient liner Orama and will change ships at Colombo for a tour of the Straits, China and Japan, after which they go on to Australia to attend the Centenary celebrations.
