EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Boy Scouts - Visit of Sir Robert Baden-Powell To D.C. Demonstration, 1911," is a testament to an historic moment in the early history of the Boy Scouts of America. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of the Boy Scout movement as Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, visited Washington D.C. The photograph shows a group of Boy Scouts engaged in a bushcraft demonstration, showcasing their skills to Sir Robert Baden-Powell and an attentive audience. The scouts are dressed in their full uniforms, complete with hats and other accouterments, exuding a sense of pride and camaraderie. One scout is seen using a bow drill to start a fire, a crucial bushcraft skill that would have been essential for survival in the great outdoors. The photograph was taken during the early 1910s, a time when the Boy Scouts of America were just beginning to gain popularity in the United States. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a significant archive of American history. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent photography studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century, known for its high-quality glass negatives. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of the Boy Scouts of America and the importance of bushcraft skills in shaping the character and values of young American men. The image is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Boy Scouts and the role they continue to play in shaping the lives of young people today.
