General Baden-Powell Visits Boy Scouts In Wiltshire

From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 12th March 1910:

Boy Scouts. General Baden-Powell Visits Wiltshire.
The Chief Scout, Lieut.-General Sir R.S. Baden Powell, the hero of Mafeking, attended a rally of the Mid-Wilts Boy Scouts at the Corn Exchange, Devizes, on Wednesday. Scouts had gathered from all parts of the county – including Seend, Warminster, Codford, Trowbridge, Bradford, Corsham, Chippenham, and Longleat. A bugle call by Scout Moore, of Trowbridge, was the signal for the troops to form up for inspection, after which came a series of demonstrations, including First Aid by the Trowbridge Scouts and hut-building by those from Seend.
