EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of pride and excitement as members of the 4th Streatham Sea Scouts receive "London's Salute" at Limehouse Basin, London Docks, in June 1978. The occasion marked the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation and the Jubilee celebrations, making it a memorable day for the scouts and the community. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, the Sea Scouts stand proudly on board their boat, "4th Dimension," as they prepare to take delivery of the salute from the Mayors of the 30 London Boroughs. The image reflects the spirit of camaraderie, adventure, and achievement that is synonymous with the Scout Association. The setting, with the backdrop of the London Docks and the River Thames, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The 1970s era is evident in the fashion, hairstyles, and boats, offering a glimpse into the past. This photograph is a testament to the importance of community involvement, teamwork, and the joy of water activities in the lives of young people. It also highlights the significant role that the Scout Association played in providing opportunities for children to engage in outdoor pursuits and learn valuable life skills during the 1970s.
