EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Lord Somers, the Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts Association in the United Kingdom, during his tenure in 1944. Lord Somers, whose given name was Oswald Henry Arnold-Forster, was a prominent figure in British society and a dedicated supporter of the Scouting movement. He is seen here in his official capacity, wearing the full uniform of the Chief Scout, complete with the distinctive broad-brimmed hat and four stars signifying his position. The image was taken during a significant period in the history of Scouting. World War II was in full swing, and the organization played a crucial role in providing support and structure for young people during this challenging time. Lord Somers, as the Chief Scout, was instrumental in ensuring that Scouting continued to thrive and offer opportunities for personal development and community engagement despite the challenges posed by the war. The photograph was taken at Birley Scout Camp, which was located in Sheffield, England. The camp was an essential part of the Scouting network, providing a space for young people to learn essential skills, build friendships, and experience the outdoors. The image captures the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that was central to the Scouting ethos, even in the midst of wartime. Lord Somers served as Chief Scout from 1937 until his death in 1957, making him one of the longest-serving holders of the position. His dedication to Scouting and his commitment to providing opportunities for young people left a lasting legacy, and he remains an important figure in the history of the Boy Scouts Association.
