EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Brigadier-General Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg lays the foundation stone for a building to be constructed by the boy scouts of the Gold Coast, now Ghana, in West Africa during the 1920s. The image captures the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defined the scouting movement during this era. Brigadier-General Guggisberg, a prominent figure in colonial Ghana, stands proudly in his military uniform, surrounded by a group of young scouts, all dressed in their distinctive uniforms adorned with badges and neckerchiefs. The scouts, with their arms raised, hold aloft the Union Jack flag, symbolizing their allegiance to the British Empire. The event took place outdoors, with the lush greenery of the African landscape providing a striking backdrop. The scouts, with their determined expressions and focused gaze, embody the spirit of exploration and self-improvement that scouting fostered. The building, which is yet to be constructed, stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of these young boys. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the colonial era in West Africa and the role that organizations like the Boy Scouts played in shaping the lives of young people during this time. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of scouting and its ability to bring people together, regardless of their background or circumstances. The photograph is a historical record of an important moment in the history of Ghana and the Boy Scouts movement in West Africa. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of outdoor activities and the impact they can have on individuals and communities.
