EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting captures the serene beauty of The Bend on the Thega River in Kenya during the 1930s. The bend in the river creates a tranquil scene, with the gentle curve of the water reflecting the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, a local chief or elder sits on the riverbank, dressed in traditional attire and deep in thought. A scout, identified as Robert Powell, stands nearby, his gaze fixed on the river as he prepares to cast his line. The peaceful scene is completed by the presence of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, who is depicted in the background, observing the scene with a sense of pride and contentment. The painting, created in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring connection between the Scout Movement and the natural world. Lord Baden-Powell, an avid outdoorsman, believed that the experiences of nature were essential for the development of young people, and the image of the chief and scout fishing at The Bend embodies this philosophy. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This artwork, created by an unknown artist, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a reminder of the importance of preserving our connection to nature. The painting is a treasured piece of art from The Scout Association's archives and a testament to the enduring legacy of Lord Baden-Powell and the Scout Movement.
