EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and camaraderie among a group of Cub Scouts from the 1960s, as they wave enthusiastically from the upper balcony of Baden Powell House in South Kensington, London. Dressed in their iconic uniforms, complete with scarves and bobble hats, these young boys embody the essence of Scouting, an organization founded by Lord Baden-Powell over half a century prior. Baden Powell House, a prominent building in the heart of London, served as the international headquarters for the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1957 to 1994. The Cub Scouts, a section of the Scouting movement for younger boys aged 8 to 10, were named after Lord Baden-Powell's nickname, 'Cub.' This photograph, taken in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting and the joyous moments shared by its members. As they wave to the camera, the Cub Scouts exude a sense of excitement and anticipation, perhaps for an upcoming adventure or event. Their smiles and waving hands convey a sense of unity and friendship, highlighting the importance of teamwork and community within the Scouting movement. The modern, yet timeless image of Baden Powell House in the background adds to the photograph's historical significance, making it a fascinating document of Scouting history.
