1948 Beret Berets Cubs Davies Gambia Gambian Georgetown Leaders Master Sanger Visiting Scout Scouting Scouts


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time as the 1st Georgetown Scout Group in Janjanbureh, Gambia, West Africa, gathers for a group photo in April 1948. The young Scouts and Cubs, dressed in their distinctive uniforms complete with berets, proudly display their badges and insignia. Among them are their Scout Master A. An Jie and a visiting Assistant Commissioner for Scouts, J. Sanger-Davies. The scene transports us back to the 1940s, a time when Scouting was thriving in various parts of the world, including Africa. The diverse group of boys, some with dark skin and others with fair complexions, embody the inclusive and unifying spirit of Scouting. Their youthful energy and excitement are palpable, as they gather for what appears to be a special occasion. The presence of the visiting Assistant Commissioner, J. Sanger-Davies, adds an air of importance to the gathering. His white uniform and distinguished appearance suggest a man of authority and experience in the Scouting movement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in Gambia and West Africa during the 1940s. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of the Scouting movement, which continues to bring boys and girls together to learn valuable life skills and build character.
