BrigitteHilgner: 12:14pm Feb 14, 2005: Könnte "Führer der Kundschafter" oder "Leiter der Wachen" sein - ist mir als historischer Titel aber nicht bekannt. Falls 20. Jh, kommt natürlich auch Pfadfinderführer in Frage ... -

Danke, bin nach einer Reihe verschiedener Titel auf dem Schlauch gestanden. Nach einigen Recherchen hat sich herausgestellt, dass dieser Herr (oder Lord) tatsächlich Pfadfinderführer war! Habe den englischen Titel mit deutschem Äquivalent in Klammern entschieden.

Explanation:
This seems indeed to be about Sir/Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouts movement. It is a title, so I'd leave it (and perhaps explain)
