EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the serene beauty of the Alpes Maritimes in France, a group of intrepid Scouts from the National Association of Russian Scouts gather to battle a raging forest fire at their camp in Grange Rimade during the summer of 1939. The Scouts, who were exiled from their homeland after the Russian Revolution of 1917, found solace and camaraderie in the outdoors, continuing their commitment to the Scouting principles of adventure, community, and personal growth. The image captures the intensity and determination of the young Scouts as they wield sticks and beat back the undergrowth, fighting against the encroaching flames and thick smoke. The scene is a stark contrast to the idyllic surroundings, with the sun peeking through the trees and casting long shadows over the smoky ground. Despite the challenges they faced, the Scouts remained dedicated to their mission, using their skills and teamwork to protect their camp and the surrounding forest. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and spirit of the Scouting movement, even in the most trying of circumstances. The 1930s were a pivotal time for the Scouting movement, as many Scout associations faced persecution and exile due to political upheaval and ideological differences. The Russian Scouts, in particular, were forced to leave their homeland and rebuild their organization in exile, demonstrating the enduring power of the Scouting principles and the strength of the Scouting community.
