EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Captain H.V. Kershaw: The Cycling Boy Scout Commissioner of Nairobi, British East Africa" This evocative photograph captures the image of Captain H.V. Kershaw, the dedicated Boy Scout Commissioner for Nairobi in British East Africa. The year is uncertain, but the photograph transports us back to the early 1900s, an era marked by colonialism and the advent of the Boy Scout movement in Africa. Captain Kershaw, a distinguished gentleman, is seen astride a bicycle, donning a pith helmet and a Boy Scout uniform adorned with badges. His bicycle, a symbol of mobility and progress, is an essential tool for his role as a commissioner, enabling him to traverse the vast expanses of Nairobi and connect with the diverse Boy Scout troops under his care. The backdrop of the photograph reveals a bustling African scene, with people and animals going about their daily lives. The contrast between the European man in a position of authority and the local population underscores the complexities of colonialism and its impact on African societies. Despite the colonial context, the Boy Scout movement in British East Africa aimed to instill values of character development, citizenship, and self-reliance in the young African boys. Captain Kershaw's commitment to this cause is evident in his unwavering dedication to his role as commissioner. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Boy Scout movement in Africa and the enduring legacy of its early pioneers like Captain H.V. Kershaw. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the intricacies of colonial life and the transformative power of the Boy Scout movement on young African boys.
