Rose Margaret Guthrie Kerr OBE (née Gough; 28 April 1882 – 12 December 1944)[2] was a British pioneer of the Guiding movement.
[3] When she was 2, her father was killed in action at the Battle of Abu Klea,[4] and her mother remarried Captain Henry Denison to whom she became quite devoted.
She started as Chief Commissioner for the County of London but later turned her attention to international Guiding also.
[3] During World War II, a message was smuggled to Kerr from Anni Collan, the Chief Guide of Finland.
[citation needed] Schloesing had been a Scout leader before the war, and the street where Passy Cemetery stands in Paris is named for him.
