EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1969, two young Boy Scouts, Bobby St John Cooper and Patrick Sottiswood, are seen diligently cleaning a street sign in the picturesque area of Downshire Hill, Hampstead, north-west London. The scene is a testament to the Scouting movement's ethos of community service and civic pride. During Scout Job Week, an initiative that encouraged Scouts and Cubs to give back to their local communities, over 400 members of the Hampstead Scout and Cub Association donned their uniforms and armed themselves with scrubbing brushes, buckets, sponges, suds, and soap to clean the street signs in their neighbourhood. The boys' faces are focused and determined as they tackle the grime and dirt that has accumulated on the sign. The frothy suds and the gleaming brushes add a sense of vibrancy and energy to the image, while the worn-out signpost and the weathered brick wall in the background serve as a reminder of the passage of time. The photograph captures the spirit of the 1960s, an era marked by a renewed focus on community involvement and volunteerism. Bobby and Patrick's earnest efforts to make their neighbourhood a cleaner and more beautiful place are a testament to the enduring power of Scouting and the positive impact it can have on young people. This photograph, taken by Mary Evans for The Scout Association, is a poignant reminder of a time when community service was a cherished value, and the simple act of cleaning a street sign could bring about a sense of pride and accomplishment for young Scouts like Bobby and Patrick.
