EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in the Scouting movement in the Bahamas, as Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Scout Association, decorates Gordon O'Brien with the Bronze Cross on February 14, 1930. The ceremony took place in the Bahamas, a part of the West Indies in the Caribbean. Surrounding Lord Baden Powell are key figures of the Bahamas Scout community, including Scoutmaster Oliver, Governor Orr, and members of the Bahamas Boy Scout Committee. The formal attire and salutes of the men add to the solemnity of the occasion. Gordon O'Brien, who is proudly wearing his Scout uniform and saluting, received the Bronze Cross for his exceptional bravery and dedication to Scouting. This decoration was a high honor in the Scout movement, symbolizing outstanding achievement and commitment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in the Bahamas during the 1930s. Lord Baden Powell's visit to the islands marked an important milestone in the development of the Scout Association in the region. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Scouting and its impact on the lives of young people around the world.
