EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Cub Seals and a Green Turtle: A Scouting Adventure on Ascension Island, South Atlantic, in the 1980s" In this photograph, a group of young Cub Scouts and Scouts from various countries are gathered on the sandy shores of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. The year is estimated to be the 1980s, and the atmosphere is filled with excitement and a sense of adventure as these young explorers embark on an educational activity to earn their conservation badges. The Cub Scouts and Scouts, dressed in their uniforms, are seen interacting with a large, majestic green turtle that has made its way to the shore. The turtle, with its powerful flippers and serene expression, seems to be cooperating with the children as they carefully examine its shell and learn about its unique characteristics. This encounter provides an unforgettable experience for these young individuals, fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world and its inhabitants. The dark night sky above adds to the mystical ambiance of the scene, with the stars twinkling brightly, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this educational adventure. The presence of seals in the background, basking on the rocks, further emphasizes the rich marine biodiversity of the area. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of nature education and conservation efforts, which began long before they became mainstream. It is a historical snapshot of a time when children were encouraged to explore the natural world, learn about its inhabitants, and develop a sense of stewardship for the environment.
