EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken on May 26, 1982, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, are seen engaging in a memorable moment with the Chief Scout at Kielder Water in Northumberland, England. The Queen, dressed in a bright yellow coat and hat, and Prince Philip, in a navy blazer and tie, are invested with a stone monument during the visit, marking their continued support and association with the Scouting movement. The serene setting of Kielder Water, surrounded by lush greenery and clear blue waters, provides a picturesque backdrop for the royal couple's visit. The Chief Scout, dressed in his full uniform, stands proudly beside them, holding a flag pole adorned with the Scout emblem. The Queen and Prince Philip were known for their love of sailing and boating, and this image captures their enthusiasm as they admire a line of canoes on the water. The presence of young girls in Scout uniforms adds to the sense of community and tradition. The investment ceremony took place during a time when the monarchy and the Scouting movement enjoyed a strong bond. The Queen, who was the World Chief Guide of the Girl Guides, and Prince Philip, who was the Chief Scout, were dedicated patrons of the organizations. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, is a testament to the enduring connection between the British monarchy and the Scouting movement. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure, community, and tradition that defines both institutions.
