EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment during the historic 1948 London Olympics when thousands of Scouts proudly lined the opening ceremony at Wembley Stadium. Amidst the post-war austerity, the Scout Association played a significant role in the Games' organization and celebration. The Scouts, representing various nationalities, held up colorful signs displaying the Olympic rings and the motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger," embodying the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie. The boys, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, brought a sense of excitement and energy to the stadium, adding to the grandeur of the Olympic Games' return to Europe after a 12-year hiatus due to World War II. The summer olympiad, featuring a record number of participating nations, showcased a renewed sense of hope and unity in the aftermath of the war. This iconic image encapsulates the spirit of resilience, unity, and the enduring power of Scouting in the face of adversity." (c)The Scout Association / Mary Evans from Mary Evans Prints Online.
