EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Sir Richard Luyt, the Governor of British Guiana, proudly stands between two newly-minted Queens Scouts and their proud mothers from Buxton, East Coast Demerara. The year is 1966, and the colonial era is drawing to a close in this South American country. Sir Richard, dressed in formal attire, is holding one of the Queens Scout certificates, a symbol of the highest achievement in the Scout movement. The two young scouts, dressed in their full uniforms, proudly wear their newly-earned Queens Scout berets. Their mothers, beaming with pride, hold their sons' certificates, their faces reflecting a sense of accomplishment and joy. The scene exudes a sense of special occasion, with the dignified presence of Sir Richard and the proud mothers and sons creating an atmosphere of importance and significance. The photograph captures a moment in history, a moment of transition from colonialism to independence, and the importance of community, achievement, and family. The image is a testament to the enduring values of the Scout movement, which fosters personal growth, leadership, and a sense of belonging, regardless of race or nationality. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and the enduring legacy of the Scout movement in Guyana and beyond.
