1947 Activities Activity Badge Camping Jamboree Pierre Postwar Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and camaraderie at the 11th World Scout Jamboree held in Lille, France in 1947. The young French boy scout, identified as Pierre Cadilhon, stands proudly before his tent, adorned in his full scout uniform complete with jamboree badge and cap. The post-war era of the 1940s, represented by the worn and weathered surroundings, adds a sense of historical significance to the image. The scene is set in the heart of the camp, with the bustling activity of scouts and their tents in the background. The air is filled with the excitement of new friendships and the anticipation of the day's activities, which could include hiking, camping, and various skill-building workshops. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the smiles on the faces of the scouts as they go about their daily routines. Pierre's expression of contentment and pride in his scouting achievements is a testament to the enduring values of the Scout Movement - respect for nature, self-reliance, and the development of strong character. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when the great outdoors served as a playground for young minds to explore and grow. The World Scout Jamboree, first held in 1920, brings together scouts from all corners of the globe to celebrate the shared values of scouting and to foster international understanding and goodwill. This photograph of Pierre Cadilhon encapsulates the essence of the Jamboree experience - a time of adventure, learning, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
