EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting Movement, shares a moment of camaraderie with His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, during the Third World Scout Jamboree held at Arrowe Park in Upton, Merseyside, in 1929. The occasion marked a significant milestone in the history of Scouting, celebrating the coming of age of the movement on its 21st birthday. The image captures the essence of the Scouting spirit, as the two leaders, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, sit together in a tent surrounded by other tents and camping equipment. Baden-Powell dons his iconic khaki uniform, complete with a fez and turban, while the Prince is seen wearing a more formal military uniform. The diverse representation of nationalities and nations present at the Jamboree is evident in the background, reflecting the international nature of the Scouting Movement. The Third World Scout Jamboree was a testament to the unity and camaraderie fostered by the Scouting Movement, bringing together thousands of Scouts from across the globe. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of adventure, friendship, and learning that continues to define Scouting to this day. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the 1920s and the rich history of Scouting.
