EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Design for Scouts Enrolment Card" created by Robert Baden-Powell in 1944. The image features a young scout standing proudly beneath the iconic scouting motto: Be Prepared. On the right side, an illustration of St George, England's patron saint, is depicted triumphantly slaying a fearsome dragon. Below this powerful scene lies a blank space reserved for the name of the card-holder, accompanied by an inspiring message from Baden-Powell himself: You are now a Scout. So, sleeves up - and tackle your job. The photograph encapsulates both patriotism and religious symbolism as it incorporates elements such as flags representing England and its union jack design. The presence of St George adds further depth to this visual narrative, evoking notions of bravery and chivalry associated with English mythology. With its vibrant colors and meticulous graphic design, this print offers a glimpse into British history during the mid-20th century. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Baden-Powell's Boy Scout movement and its emphasis on personal growth through preparedness. Preserved within these details lies not only membership into an esteemed organization but also social history itself. This remarkable piece exemplifies how art can capture significant moments in time while simultaneously inspiring future generations to embrace their responsibilities with enthusiasm and determination.
