EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a church parade in Bermuda during May 1927. At the head of the procession, Scouts from Ireland Island proudly lead the way, their distinctive uniforms adorned with wolf and cub emblems. To their left, Cubs in white uniforms and caps follow, forming part of the same Scouting pack. The Scouts' uniforms, complete with caps and badges, reflect the colonial influence that permeated the British territories in the Caribbean during the 1920s. The warm, dry climate of Bermuda is evident in the sun-kissed faces of the adults and children, many of whom are women, serving as leaders and volunteers. The boys, dressed in their uniforms, display a sense of pride and excitement as they participate in the parade. The background of the photograph reveals a quaint, colonial scene. Shops with hand-painted signs line the street, selling groceries and other essentials. A cooper, identified by his barrel-making tools, stands near a sign advertising his services. The sound of drums can be heard in the distance, adding to the lively atmosphere. The Union Jack flag flies high above the scene, symbolizing the British colonial rule that governed the West Indies at the time. The Scouts and Cubs, with their sense of discipline, camaraderie, and adventure, embodied the values of the British Empire during the 1920s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in the colonies and the unique cultural blend that characterized life in Bermuda during the 1920s.
