EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sir Charles Noble Arden-Clarke, the Governor and Chief Scout of the Gold Coast, is warmly welcomed by an Ashanti scout group during his arrival in Ghana, West Africa, in 1951. The image captures a significant moment in the history of scouting in Africa, as Sir Arden-Clarke prepared to open the Supreme Council Meeting of the Boy Scouts Association (Gold Coast Branch). Dressed in full scouting regalia, Sir Arden-Clarke cuts an authoritative figure amidst the vibrant and energetic Ashanti scouts. The lush, green grass of the lawn provides a picturesque backdrop to the scene, as the scouts, clad in their traditional uniforms, raise their voices in a traditional yell to welcome their esteemed guest. The excitement and anticipation are palpable, as the scouts eagerly await the commencement of the council meeting. The year was 1951, and the 50s were a pivotal period in the development of scouting in Africa. The Boy Scouts Association in the Gold Coast Branch was an integral part of the broader scouting movement that was spreading across the continent. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of scouting in Ghana and the strong bond between the scouting community and its leaders. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of scouting and its ability to transcend borders and bring people together, regardless of race or ethnicity. The photograph is a valuable historical document that captures the spirit of camaraderie, adventure, and learning that defines the scouting experience.
