1867 Association Baden Joss Powell Stairs Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Near Joss Stairs, Kingsgate" and dated 1867, captures a scene of historical significance in the annals of scouting and exploration. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a group of young boys clad in simple attire, gathered around Sir Rowland Hill, a prominent figure in the early days of scouting. Sir Rowland Hill, a British Army officer and engineer, is best known for his association with Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement. Hill played a pivotal role in encouraging Baden-Powell's interest in scouting and camping during their time together in India. In this photograph, Hill is seen instructing the boys, likely teaching them survival skills or perhaps leading them on an expedition. The location of the photograph is identified as Near Joss Stairs, Kingsgate. The Joss Stairs, a series of steps leading down to the River Thames, were a popular site for bathing and fishing in the late 19th century. The boys in the photograph appear to be on the edge of the river, possibly preparing for a journey or adventure. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of scouting and its early pioneers. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of exploration and camaraderie that continues to define the scouting movement to this day. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of mentorship and the enduring influence of figures like Sir Rowland Hill on the lives of young people.
