EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image of a young Boy Scout named Gunnis, standing proudly in front of the ancient Lambousa Monastery in Cyprus during the 1930s. The serene expression on his face and the sense of adventure in his eyes reflect the spirit of Scouting, which encourages personal growth, teamwork, and a connection to nature. The Boy Scouts movement, founded in 1907, had gained significant popularity by the 1930s, with branches established in various parts of the world, including Cyprus. Gunnis, dressed in his full Scout uniform, embodies the organization's core values of trustworthiness, loyalty, and respect for nature. The backdrop of the Lambousa Monastery, with its intricate stonework and rich history, adds an extra layer of depth to the photograph. Dating back to the 14th century, the monastery is a significant historical site in Cyprus, having served as a place of worship and refuge for centuries. Gunnis' hands are casually placed on his hips, conveying a sense of confidence and readiness for the next adventure. The photo captures a moment in time when the young Scout was likely exploring the beautiful island of Cyprus, learning valuable skills, and forging lifelong friendships. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Scouting and the importance of preserving historical moments. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the shared experiences and values that have shaped generations of young people.
