Be Prepared. The Boys Scout Hall in Tehran's prestigious northern suburb of Shemiran has a new use. Just down the road from the Shah's Saadabad Palace, it is now being used to train soldiers for Khomeini's army. These soldiers being trained by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards include young boys and old men, and are instructed in the use of guns, ammunition, and explosives. In this striking print captured on December 11th, 1979, we witness a significant moment during Iran's revolutionary period. Amidst the turmoil that engulfed the country during this time, traditional institutions like the Boy Scouts were repurposed to serve a different purpose - training individuals for military service. The image showcases an instructor guiding a diverse group of soldiers-in-training ranging from teenagers to seasoned men. Their focus lies on mastering weapons such as assault rifles like Heckler & Koch G3s while surrounded by shells and ammunition. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into Iran's complex history and its transformation during one of its most turbulent eras. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly innocuous spaces can undergo profound changes when societal shifts occur. Bill Rowntree skillfully captures both the intensity and significance of this moment through his lens – freezing it in time for future generations to reflect upon.
