EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black-and-white photograph takes us back to the summer of 1942 in Florence, Alabama. The image showcases a Boy Scout camp counselor overseeing a swimming class with utmost dedication and care. As the sun shines brightly overhead, young boys clad in classic bathing suits eagerly listen to their mentor's instructions. The scene exudes an air of excitement and camaraderie as these scouts embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery amidst nature's embrace. The camp counselor, embodying the values instilled by scouting, stands tall as both lifeguard and role model for these aspiring adventurers. Photographed by Jack Delano in July 1942, this snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit of American youth during that era.
