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.
