EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s, we see Troop Leader John Lewis (right) proudly guiding Denis Oudkerk, a young boy scout of St Marys Own Troop from Georgetown, British Guyana, South America. The image captures the essence of the Boy Scouts movement, with its focus on adventure, learning, and character development. The scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen in a lush, tropical setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and vibrant colors. The troop leader, John Lewis, wears his beret adorned with various badges, signifying his leadership role and years of dedication to the organization. Denis, an eager and engaged scout, also displays his own collection of badges on his uniform, a testament to his achievements and commitment to the scouting principles. The Boy Scouts movement, which originated in the UK, had a significant presence in British colonies and territories, including Guyana. The organization aimed to provide young boys with opportunities for personal growth, leadership, and citizenship training, and its influence can be seen in the smiles and confidence of John and Denis. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Boy Scouts in Guyana and the impact it had on the lives of young boys like Denis Oudkerk. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring values of the scouting movement and the importance of mentorship and community involvement in shaping the next generation.
