EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and camaraderie among the Scouts of Troops 1-7, Accra, during a weekend camping trip in Ghana, West Africa, circa 1920s. The Scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, have constructed authentic bush tents from locally sourced materials, including woven palm leaves. The foreground is dotted with cacti, adding a touch of exoticism to the scene. The Gold Coast, as Ghana was then known, offered a unique setting for Scouting activities, with its diverse wildlife, lush vegetation, and rich cultural heritage. The Scouts can be seen engaging in various outdoor activities, from setting up camp to exploring their surroundings, all under the watchful eyes of their leaders. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Scouting and its ability to bring people together, regardless of their background or location. It also provides a glimpse into the history of Scouting in Africa and the role it played in shaping the lives of young people during the early 20th century. The use of local materials and traditional building techniques reflects the Scouts' commitment to embracing the local culture and environment, making for a truly immersive and enriching experience.
