EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of excitement and camaraderie among the French scouts or cubs of the 3rd Joan of Arc group in Casablanca during the 1940s. The image showcases a circle of young boys, dressed in their distinctive scouting uniforms, engaged in the traditional scouting activity known as 'The Grand Howl.' With hands raised and mouths wide open, they let out a powerful and synchronous howl, creating an electrifying atmosphere. The 3rd Joan of Arc group, located in Morocco, was part of the French Scouting and Guiding movement, which aimed to provide boys and girls with outdoor experiences, skills training, and moral guidance. The group's name pays homage to the legendary French heroine, Joan of Arc, who inspired courage and determination in the face of adversity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of scouting in North Africa during the 1940s. The presence of a woman in the background, likely a scout leader, adds to the image's intrigue, suggesting the vital role women played in shaping the lives of young scouts. The boys' focused expressions and their connection to one another convey the sense of unity and adventure that characterized scouting during this era. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of scouting and the transformative impact it can have on the lives of young people.
