Gets everybody in the Scout movement to stop working? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
calls out
'gets everybody' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'in the scout movement to stop working?' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'movement' indicates an anagram.
'to stop working?' becomes 'all' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'scout' with letters rearranged gives 'csout'.
'csout' going around 'all' is 'CALLS OUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
