HC Deb 03 April 1911 vol 23 c1967W
Mr. WATT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that a review of Boy Scouts was held by General Baden-Powell in Glasgow on Saturday the 18th instant, and that on the same date the Territorial Association called out the various Cadet Corps to parade; will he say whether this action was taken by the local Territorial Association in order to discourage the boy scout movement; and, if so, will he say what are the War Office objections, if any, to the latter?

Colonel SEELY

My hon. Friend appears to have been misinformed. No Cadet Corps was called out in Glasgow on the 18th instant. There is only one recognised Cadet Corps in Glasgow. Further the Boy Scouts were reviewed on a field belonging to the Territorial Association.
