EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sir John Shaw Rennie, the Governor of Mauritius, is seen receiving a symbolic casket from the Mayor of Port Louis in the late 1960s. The occasion marked the official awarding of the Honorary Freedom of the Town of Port Louis to the Mauritius Boy Scouts Association by the Municipal Council in December 1962. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with Sir John Shaw Rennie, dressed in his formal attire, standing tall and proud as he accepts the casket from the Mayor. Surrounding them are scouts and other dignitaries, all dressed in their distinctive uniforms, adding a sense of tradition and camaraderie to the scene. The casket, which represents the honorary freedom, is placed on a table, adorned with a microphone and other ceremonial items, signaling the importance and significance of the event. The buildings in the background add to the sense of history and tradition, as does the large audience of spectators, who are watching intently, captivated by the special occasion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Mauritius during the 1960s, a time when the Boy Scouts movement was at its peak, and the British colonial administration was still in place. The image also highlights the important role that leaders like Sir John Shaw Rennie and the Mayor played in shaping the future of the country and its people, as well as the enduring impact of scouting on the lives of young boys and men in Mauritius.
