EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in Maltese scouting history, as Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, and General Sir Leslie Rundle, the Colonial Chief Scout, inspect the troops on Palace Square in Valletta, Malta on 13 February 1913. The scene is filled with the energy and excitement of young boys and men, all dressed in their distinctive scout uniforms, eager to show off their skills and dedication to the scouting principles. The troops hail from various districts across Malta, including Valletta, Floriana, Sliema, Dockyard, Barracca, and Tigne, reflecting the widespread appeal and reach of the scouting movement in the region. The impressive backdrop of the ornate buildings and courtyard of the Palace Square adds to the historical significance of the event, as Baden-Powell and Rundle look on approvingly at their charges. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the early days of scouting in Malta and the strong connection between the movement and the community.
