EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Archbishop of Malta, resplendent in his ecclesiastical robes, conducts an inspection of scout troops in the majestic Palace Square of Valletta. The scene is set against the backdrop of Neoclassical architecture, with the ornate portico of the Grandmaster's Palace and its surrounding buildings adorned with columns and pillars, reflecting the rich history and cultural heritage of Malta. The Archbishop is accompanied by esteemed figures including Admiral Ballard, the Hon. E. Ponavia (Commissioner), and District Scoutmaster Blair. The scouts, dressed in their smart uniforms, stand at attention, displaying the pride and discipline instilled in them through their scouting experiences. The sight of the red and white striped scout flags fluttering in the breeze adds to the sense of tradition and camaraderie. The photograph captures a moment of unity and shared purpose, as the religious and secular leaders of Maltese society come together to support and encourage the next generation of young Maltese boys. The image also underscores the enduring role of the Roman Catholic Church in Maltese life, as the Archbishop, a symbol of faith and spiritual guidance, presides over this quintessentially Maltese scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring values of scouting, as well as the classical beauty and historical significance of Valletta, making it a captivating and evocative image that transports us to a bygone era.
