Scouting[]
In the Boy Scout Association, Furness was the second district commissioner of Willesden district.[1] He took over from captain C. Pearse in November 1915, only 6 months after the association was founded, presumably as Pearse was called away to war. Furness continued as district commissioner until his death in 1936.
Legacy[]
When he died he left an estate valued at £278,312 2s 5d to his wife Mary Mable.[2]
He died during his term as High Sheriff of Middlesex and his son, George James Barnard Furness, was given the position in 1939.
