EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, three young boys, proudly dressed in their Cub and Scout uniforms, gaze up at the imposing statue of Lord Baden-Powell outside Baden-Powell House in South Kensington, London. The year is estimated to be around the 1960s, a time when the Scouting Movement was at its peak in popularity. Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting Movement, is depicted in the statue as a stern yet inspiring figure, clad in military attire and holding a walking stick. The statue, sculpted in stone, stands tall and proud, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scouting Movement and its founder. Baden-Powell House, officially opened in 1961, serves as the headquarters of The Scout Association in the UK. It is a place where Scouts and Cubs from all over the country gather to learn new skills, build friendships, and carry on the traditions started by Lord Baden-Powell over a century ago. The photograph captures a moment of wonder and admiration from the young Cubs and Scouts, as they look up to the statue of their founder, no doubt inspired by his leadership and the values he instilled in the Scouting Movement. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of Scouting, and the enduring impact it has had on generations of young people. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Scouting Movement. It is a reminder of the importance of passing on traditions and values from one generation to the next, and the power of inspiration and leadership to shape the lives of young people.
