EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and resilience among a group of Lithuanian Scouts in Exile during the 1930s. Belonging to the National Association of Russian Scouts, these young boys and men were forced into exile when Scouting was outlawed in Russia following the Revolution of 1917. The Scouts are seen here in their wooded camp, donning their distinctive uniforms complete with hats, badges, and neckerchiefs. Their leader stands proudly at the front, leading his troops in an outdoor activity. The sense of community and shared experience is palpable, as they engage in the various camping activities that Scouting is known for. Despite the challenges of exile, these Scouts remained dedicated to the principles of Scouting, which emphasized character development, physical fitness, and citizenship. The wooden structure in the background, perhaps a makeshift shelter or meeting place, underscores their resourcefulness and determination to thrive in their new environment. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a significant chapter in Scouting history, as well as the enduring spirit of those who were displaced by political upheaval. The image captures the essence of Scouting's mission to build strong character and foster a sense of belonging, even in the most trying of circumstances.
