EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Scouts Own Service in Ghana, West Africa, during the mid-20th century. The scene unfolds outdoors under the shade of trees, with a troop of Scouts and their leader, J.A. Bulley, gathered around a simple wooden table. Bulley, dressed in his Scoutmaster uniform, is deeply engrossed in reading the second lesson from the Old Testament book of Psalms (Psalm 27), while Reverend Father Ashitey and other men, some in Anglican clergy attire, look on from the background. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of British colonial rule, flutters in the breeze, hinting at the region's complex history. The diverse group of Scouts, both black and white, underscores the inclusive nature of the Scouting movement, which transcends racial and cultural boundaries. The Scouts' uniforms, with their gold stripes and badges, reflect their dedication and achievements. The Scouts Own Service is a traditional Scouting event where Scouts gather to worship and reflect on their Scouting experiences. The service often includes readings from the Bible and hymns, fostering a sense of spiritual growth and community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in Ghana and the enduring impact it has had on generations of young people. The image is a poignant reminder of the role Scouting played in shaping the lives of young people in Ghana and other parts of Africa during the colonial era, as well as the organization's continued relevance and importance in fostering character development, leadership skills, and a sense of service to others.
