EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken at the 4th National Boy Scout Jamboree in Nihonbara, Okayama, Japan, in 1967, a group of Boy Scouts are seen taking a break from their activities, relaxing and enjoying a refreshing beverage. The serene atmosphere is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Japanese landscape, with lush greenery and a clear blue sky overhead. The scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, sit around a table adorned with parasols, providing shade from the sun. The table is laden with bottles of Coca-Cola, the iconic soft drink that had already gained immense popularity around the world. The scouts, with their youthful energy and carefree expressions, engage in animated conversations, creating a sense of camaraderie and unity. The 1960s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural changes, saw the Boy Scout movement gain popularity in Japan, with jamborees like this one bringing together thousands of scouts from across the country. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of scouting in Japan during this era, capturing the essence of youth, friendship, and the simple pleasure of sharing a drink with friends. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the scouts' relaxed posture and the classic Coca-Cola bottles adding to the nostalgic feel. This photograph not only showcases the joy and camaraderie of the Boy Scouts during the 4th National Jamboree but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of scouting in Japan and the role that Coca-Cola played in shaping the cultural landscape of the 1960s.
