EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1966, we witness the official arrival of His Excellency the High Commissioner, Sir Richard Turnbull, G.C.M.G., the Chief Scout of Aden, as he makes his grand entrance to open the new Headquarters of the South Arabian Boy Scouts Association in the bustling city of Aden, Yemen. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment as the children of the scout association, dressed in their uniforms, line the street in a neat row, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their esteemed leader. Sir Richard Turnbull, a distinguished figure in a black suit and bow tie, sits confidently in the back seat of a large, sleek black car, waving to the cheering crowd as he drives down the street. The children, filled with a sense of pride and wonder, watch intently as the car approaches, their faces reflecting the joy and excitement of the occasion. The new Headquarters of the South Arabian Boy Scouts Association, a modern and impressive building, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the dedication and commitment of the scouting movement in Yemen during the 1960s. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, as the scouting community comes together to celebrate the opening of their new headquarters and the arrival of their esteemed Chief Scout, Sir Richard Turnbull. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of scouting to bring people together, to inspire and empower young people, and to create lasting memories and traditions. This photograph, taken over fifty years ago, continues to resonate with us today, a testament to the enduring spirit of scouting and the impact it has on the lives of young people around the world.
