EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and resilience among members of the National Association of Russian Scouts during the 1930s. With the dissolution of scouting in Russia following the Revolution of 1917, these young boys and men found solace and continuity in their shared love for the outdoors and scouting traditions. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, complete with caps, they gather around a wooden structure, perhaps a makeshift shelter or meeting place. Smiling faces and raised banners suggest a sense of pride and unity among the troops, despite their exiled status. The scene is filled with a palpable energy and spirit of adventure, as the scouts engage in various camping activities, from setting up tents to cooking over an open fire. This image offers a poignant glimpse into the history of Russian scouting during a time of political upheaval, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of community and the human spirit.
