EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a group of eager Boy Scouts proudly stand before King Farouk of Egypt, showcasing their Scouting spirit and respect for the monarch. The image, taken between 1920 and 1965, captures a significant moment in Egyptian and Scouting history. King Farouk, the last king of Egypt and Sudan, was known for his love of outdoor activities and his support for youth organizations. The Boy Scouts Association of Egypt, established in 1919, was one of his favorite organizations, and he served as its Honorary President from 1920 until his reign ended in 1952. The Scouts, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are seen saluting their monarch, who wears the distinctive Egyptian fez adorned with the royal insignia. The boys' faces reflect a sense of excitement and pride, as they stand in the presence of their respected leader. The background of the photograph reveals a picturesque outdoor setting, with lush greenery and a clear blue sky, further emphasizing the connection between Scouting, the monarchy, and the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Scouting in Egypt and the unique bond between the Scouts and their monarch, King Farouk. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a moment of unity and respect between the youth of Egypt and their royal leader. The image is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the rich history of Scouting and the role of the monarchy in Egyptian society.
