EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the colonial era of South Africa's history, as the Boys of Barberton Scout Troop are inspected by the British Consul at Lourenco Marques, now Maputo, Mozambique. The image, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases a group of young boys, dressed in full scout uniforms, standing at attention before the consul. Each boy wears a hat adorned with a badge, and their uniforms are adorned with various insignia and patches. The backdrop of the photograph is a grand, colonial-era building, likely the British Embassy or Consulate. The boys, with their brass and woodwind instruments at their feet, appear to be part of a musical performance or demonstration. A pile of drums and other percussion instruments can be seen in the foreground, suggesting that music played an important role in their scouting activities. The Boys of Barberton Scout Troop were part of the larger Scouting movement that was popular in colonial Africa during this period. Scouting provided boys with a sense of adventure, discipline, and camaraderie, as well as valuable skills such as navigation, first aid, and survival techniques. The movement also served as a means of promoting British values and culture in the colonies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these young boys and the colonial society in which they lived. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during this time in South African history.
