EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of international camaraderie and adventure at the 1st Alexandria (British) Troop Fair held in Alexandria, Egypt on 4 March 1922. The diverse representation of nationalities is evident in the gathering of scouts and visitors, including English, American, Italian, Jewish (two troops), and Armenian members. The young boys, dressed in their scouting uniforms and wearing caps or hats, are seen mingling with the visitors, creating a vibrant and joyful scene. At the front of the group, a mixture of British and Jewish wolf cubs can be seen, adding to the sense of unity and shared experience. The woman seated on the right, identified as ACM Mrs. Spicer of the 1st Alexandria (British) Pack, watches over the scene with a proud and warm smile. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of scouting in the Middle East during the 1920s, a time when cultural exchange and exploration were at the forefront of societal norms. The image is a testament to the enduring values of scouting, including community, friendship, and personal growth.
