EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1960s, Sir John Shaw Rennie, the Governor of Mauritius, is seen in an indoor setting, surrounded by scouting leaders and their wives. The Governor, dressed in formal attire, is intently examining a wooden casket and certificate, while Lady Rennie looks on with interest. The scouting leaders, all wearing their distinctive uniforms, stand attentively behind them. The occasion for this gathering was an exhibition of works, showcasing the crafts and arts produced by the Mauritius Boy Scouts Association. The association had been awarded the Freedom of the Town of Port Louis by the town council in 1962, an honor bestowed upon organizations that have made significant contributions to the community. The wooden casket and certificate are symbols of this recognition. This photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Mauritius, a British territory at the time. Sir John Shaw Rennie, a British appointee, presides over the event, underscoring the historical context of the image. The scouting leaders, representing the youth of Mauritius, stand proudly beside him, a testament to the enduring influence of the scouting movement in shaping the lives of young people. The image captures a moment of official recognition and celebration, as well as a sense of community and camaraderie. The wooden casket and certificate, now relics of a bygone era, serve as reminders of the rich history and traditions of Mauritius and the role that organizations like the Mauritius Boy Scouts Association continue to play in shaping its future.
