Biographical history
George F. Metcalfe was born in 1858 in Ohio, United States to English immigrants, Jabez (Jabus) and Eliza Metcalfe. He had several siblings. He moved to London, Ontario and married Letitia Ann Walker in 1882. They lived at 529 South Street and belonged to the Church of England. Metcalfe worked in cabinetry.
He was also involved with the 8th Boy Scouts Troop in London, Ontario. Metcalfe joined the troop on December 1, 1910, the same day it was officially formed. The 8th Troop originally comprised only of boys from Dundas Street United Church but later became non-denominational and included boys from across London. Metcalfe was appointed Assistant Scoutsmaster in 1910, but was not sworn in until November, 1911.
