EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a memorable moment in the history of Boy Scouting in Egypt during the 1940s. The scene is set at the Alamein Club in Cairo, where a St. George's Day rally was held in honor of the movement's founder, Lord Baden Powell. The British Ambassador, Lord Killearn, addressed the gathered Boy Scouts, who donned their uniforms with pride. Amidst the festivities, the focus shifts to the practical application of Scouting skills. In this image, Boy Scouts are seen demonstrating first aid techniques to their peers. One Scout tenderly attends to a casualty with a fractured leg, skillfully applying a makeshift splint to immobilize the injured limb. This scene underscores the importance of preparedness and practical knowledge that Scouting instills in its members. The year was 1944, and the world was in the midst of wartime. Despite the challenges, the Scouting movement continued to thrive in Egypt, providing a sense of community, camaraderie, and valuable life skills to its young members. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Scouting movement, even in the most trying of circumstances.
