1948 Ashanti Commissioner Commissioners Difficult Ghana Heavy Jack Kumasi Muddy Plank Rain Rains Roads Stapleton Trek Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and resilience during a Scouting trek in Ghana, West Africa, following heavy rains in 1948. The recently appointed Commissioners, Jack Stapleton and George Djabanor, lead a group of Scouts and Scoutmasters through the muddy terrain, their faces etched with determination and focus. The Scouts, both boys and men, navigate the difficult wooden plank roads, some carrying their comrades on their backs, while others push cars and trucks that have become stuck in the mud. The Ashanti region of Ghana, near Kumasi, provides a challenging backdrop for the trek, with its lush greenery and unpredictable weather. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of the Scouting movement's commitment to adventure and character development, even in the most trying of conditions. The 1940s, a time of great change and transformation, saw the Scouting movement thrive in Ghana and across the world, instilling values of leadership, teamwork, and self-reliance in generations of young people. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the Scouting experience and the indomitable human spirit.
