EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of pride and camaraderie among the Scouts of Ghana during a St. George's Day parade in 1922. The scene unfolds on the lush, green grounds of a senior school in Ghana, West Africa, where the boys, dressed in their full Scout uniforms, stand at attention. The golden sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the gleaming badges and insignia adorning their chests. The Scout movement, which emphasizes character development, teamwork, and outdoor skills, had gained popularity in Ghana by the 1920s. The Scouts in this photograph are likely from a local district, and their Scoutmaster stands proudly at the head of the formation, overseeing the boys with a watchful eye. The Scouts' connection to the church is evident in the title "St. George's Day," named after the patron saint of Scouting. The day commemorates the legend of St. George, a soldier who was said to have slain a dragon to save a princess. The Scout movement adopted St. George as its patron saint, symbolizing the courage, honor, and self-sacrifice embodied by the Scouting ideals. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in Ghana during the 1920s, a time when the movement was spreading throughout the British Empire and beyond. The Scouts in this image represent the dedication and commitment of young African boys to their community, their faith, and their personal growth.
