1947 Association Jamboree Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and camaraderie at the 1947 National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America. Held every four years, the Jamboree is the largest Scouting event in the United States, bringing together thousands of Scouts from across the country for a week of educational activities, merit badge classes, and outdoor skills training. In this image, a young Scout stands proudly before his tent, gazing off into the distance with a determined look in his eyes. Surrounded by the bustling scene of the Jamboree, with tents pitched in neat rows and Scouts milling about in uniform, this Scout represents the countless boys who attended the event that year, eager to learn new skills, make new friends, and embrace the values of Scouting: trustworthiness, loyalty, helpfulness, kindness, obedience, courage, and thrift. The 1947 Jamboree took place at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, and the photograph captures the rugged, rustic beauty of the campsite. The Scout in the photograph is dressed in the traditional Scout uniform, with a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt, and trousers, ready for a day of outdoor exploration. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring appeal of Scouting and the sense of adventure that it instills in young people. The Scout Association's extensive archive, held at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a wealth of historical images documenting the rich history of Scouting in the United States and around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring values and traditions of the Scouting movement, and a reminder of the countless boys and girls who have embraced the Scout Oath and Law, and the spirit of adventure that it embodies.
