BrigitteHilgner Feb 14, 2005:
K�nnte "F�hrer der Kundschafter" oder "Leiter der Wachen" sein - ist mir als historischer Titel aber nicht bekannt. Falls 20. Jh, kommt nat�rlich auch Pfadfinderf�hrer in Frage ...

oberster Pfadfinderführer

Chief Scout habe ich eigentlich nur im Zusammenhang mit den Pfadfindern gefunden.

Peer comment(s):
agree Francis Lee (X) : würde ich (in Klammern) nach dem englischen Titel schreiben; sogar "Weltpfadfinderführer" vielleicht

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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. "

Chief Scout

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)

In fact, the title was \"Chief Scout of the World\" (which simply reeks of dwindling imperial ambitions)
Peer comment(s):
neutral Sven Petersson : I agree with leaving "Chief Scout", but think it's Lord Somers, KCMG, DSO, MC, Chief Scout of the British Empire (concluded from 6th)
