EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of solemn reverence as the Scout flag is raised at the Scouts Own Service to open Scout Week in Ghana, West Africa, on 18 February 1951. The scene takes place in the heart of the Gold Coast, the region that would later become the independent nation of Ghana. The image is a testament to the rich history of Scouting in Africa during the 1950s. The photograph features a diverse group of Scouts and Scout Masters, both black and white, standing in attention as they pay tribute to the Scout movement and its values. The Scouts, dressed in their uniforms, are a mix of boys and men, representing the various age groups within the organization. The flagpole, adorned with several flags, stands tall against the clear blue sky, symbolizing the unity and solidarity of the Scouting community. The flag itself, with its gold fringe and emblem, is being raised by two Scouts, one black and one white, demonstrating the non-discriminatory nature of the organization. The Scouts Own Service is a traditional ceremony held at the beginning of Scout Week, a time for Scouts to gather and celebrate their achievements, learn new skills, and strengthen their bonds with one another. This photograph captures the essence of this important moment in the history of Scouting in Ghana and serves as a reminder of the organization's commitment to fostering unity, diversity, and character development in young people around the world.
