EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a patrol of forty eager Boy Scouts makes its way across difficult country near Chollerford, Hexham, during a two-week scouting camp held in September 1905. Under the guidance of their founder, Lord Baden-Powell, these young scouts from both public and elementary schools have been immersed in the practical demonstration of his groundbreaking scouting scheme. The challenging terrain, reminiscent of active service conditions, provides the perfect backdrop for the boys' intensive training in scoutcraft. Their days are filled with essential skills such as tracking, signalling, and temporary hut-making. The importance of these skills, which would become synonymous with the Scouting movement, is palpable in their focused expressions and determined strides. As the sun sets, the boys gather around the campfire for an evening of storytelling and song. The warmth of the fire, the camaraderie of their fellow scouts, and the satisfaction of a day well spent create an unforgettable experience. This photograph, taken on the 2nd of September 1905, serves as a testament to the impact of Baden-Powell's scouting scheme, which had already begun to spread far and wide. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the early days of the Boy Scouts, showcasing the spirit of adventure, resilience, and camaraderie that continues to define the organization to this day.
