New badge for business-savvy scouts

"Be Prepared" -- the Scouts' long-standing motto -- takes on another dimension with the launch of a new badge for entrepreneurship.
The badge encourages scouts to add business start-ups to their repertoire, which traditionally involves camping, singalongs, map-reading and knot-tying.
"It's our job to encourage them to try new things and be more entrepreneurial," Scout Association spokesman Simon Carter said.
The badge is multimillionaire Richard Harpin's brainchild.
The founder and chief executive of British insurance company Homeserve has put up 50,000 pounds to fund it.
The badge will also be awarded for fundraising.

Air Canada repairs wheelchair 'after Twitter pressure'

Pressure from Twitter users has made Air Canada fix a terminally ill boy's wheelchair after it was damaged during a flight.
Appeals for help from the aunt of 10-year-old Tanner Bawn went viral on the micro-blogging website.
An airline spokesman said they had acted as soon as they had heard about it.
Tanner has Duchenne muscular dystrophy and is immobile without the chair.
His $15,000 wheelchair arrived at New York's La Guardia Airport in pieces, during a trip to the city.
Tanner along with his mother and aunt, who were waiting in a hotel room in Manhattan for 24 hours, were ecstatic after users of the micro-blogging site helped grab the attention of the airline.
Air Canada has contacted an repair centre after hearing about the boy's problems from other Twitter users and had the specialised chair returned to Tanner a day later.
