A Scout is Clean, 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of the Boy Scouts' tenth law - cleanliness in thought, word, and deed. This vibrant colour lithograph from the 20th century showcases a group of cheerful young scouts at a swimming pool, embodying the ideals of trust, discipline, and friendship. The image comes from a series of cigarette cards produced by Ogdens as part of their advertising campaign. It serves as both an advertisement and a visual representation of the values that scouting promotes. The boys are depicted diving into the water with smiles on their faces, showcasing movement and usefulness. This vintage card reminds us of the importance of promises and good turns within scouting. The swimmers demonstrate loyalty to one another while upholding moral principles such as courtesy and duty. Their polite demeanor reflects not only proper etiquette but also respect for others. In this snapshot from history, we witness how marketing can be used to promote positive values rather than solely commercial interests. The artwork evokes nostalgia for a time when morality was emphasized alongside marketing strategies. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, these timeless virtues continue to shape individuals who strive to make meaningful contributions to society through acts of kindness and integrity.
