EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1950s, Sir Alfred Cools-Lartigue and Lady Lartigue are seen visiting a preliminary scout training course in the picturesque Caribbean island of Dominica. The couple, dressed in their finest attire, are surrounded by local dignitaries and young scouts, all clad in their smart uniforms, as they inspect the progress of the training camp. The scene exudes an air of colonialism, with the white, civilian visitors from the West Association of Scouts, led by Sir Alfred, taking a keen interest in the development of the scouting movement in the Dominican territory. The lush, green landscape of the field camp, dotted with tents and training equipment, provides a striking contrast to the formal suits and dresses worn by the dignitaries. Sir Alfred, a prominent figure in the scouting association, and Lady Lartigue, are welcomed warmly by the local community, as they engage with the boys and men in various scouting activities. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and unity, as the visitors and the local scouts share their passion for scouting and the outdoors. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of scouting in the Caribbean and the role of colonial powers in shaping the movement in the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring appeal of scouting and its ability to bring people together, regardless of their backgrounds or cultural differences.
