EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Boy Scouts Standing In Front of Tents In Encampment,' was captured by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1914 and 1917. The image portrays a group of eager Boy Scouts, clad in their distinctive uniforms, gathered in front of a row of tents in an encampment setting. The scene exudes a sense of adventure and camaraderie, as the young boys proudly display the American flag and its stars and stripes banner. The Boy Scouts of America movement, which began in 1910, aimed to promote character development, citizenship training, and outdoor skills among young American boys. This photograph is a testament to the organization's success in fostering a spirit of adventure and unity among its members. The setting, with the boys standing outside amongst nature, further emphasizes the importance of the outdoors in the Scouting experience. The photograph was taken during a time of significant change in American history, with the First World War looming on the horizon. The Boy Scouts played an important role in the war effort, providing valuable assistance to the military and contributing to the war effort through various activities. This image, therefore, serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the simple pleasures of the great outdoors and the camaraderie of the Boy Scouts held great significance for a generation of American boys. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 25,000 glass negatives, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history and culture during the early 20th century.
