In Excellent Health An official at the Boy Scouts' Asso

ciation said:

Lord Baden-Powell is in excellent health but he is so popular that he cannot hope to accept all the invitations sent to him. He has no intention of retiring and we are hoping that he will be with us for many years, He has his office at the headquarters in Buckingham Palace-road and is frequently here. He is intensely interested in the work of every department and has made arrangements for many meetings during the summer of next year.

At the end of May he hopes to nttend the London 'Over the Border'

Rally and at the beginning of June he will be travelling to Scotland. To-"wards the end of June he intends to visit the Irish Free State and in July, he will go to Ulster. Later in July he will be in North Wales.

The Chief Scout is still fond of travelling and he is certain that his health will permit him to carry out the scouting programme which is so dear to his heart."
