EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a significant moment in the history of Scouting in Seychelles, as His Excellency the Governor, Sir Charles Sheil, presents the Colours of the local Scout troop to Scoutmaster S.B. de Burgh Edwardes on October 27, 1927. The presentation took place at Government House, the official residence of the British Governor in Seychelles. Scouting had been introduced to Seychelles in 1913, and by June 1927, Scoutmaster Edwardes had successfully raised a troop of dedicated young scouts. The Colours, or flags, symbolize the heritage, traditions, and spirit of the Scout Association. Their presentation signified the official recognition and support of the Governor for the Scout movement in Seychelles. The photograph captures the pride and excitement of the occasion, with Edwardes proudly receiving the Colours from the Governor, surrounded by his scouts, who proudly wear their uniforms. The formal setting of Government House, with its grand architecture and lush gardens, adds to the sense of importance and occasion. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Scouting in Seychelles, which continues to inspire and empower young people to develop essential life skills and make a positive impact on their communities. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Scouting, which began over a century ago and has since spread to over 200 countries and territories around the world.
