EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Japanese scouts disembark from a train at Copenhagen's Central Station in Denmark, marking their arrival for the 2nd World Jamboree at Ermelunden. The year is 1924, and the scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are met with warm welcomes from Danish scout leaders, including Christian Holm, the President of the Danish Scouts. Among the dignitaries present to greet the Japanese delegation are Rear Admiral Count Sano and Viscount Mishima. The diplomatic significance of this moment is palpable, as the scouting movement provided an opportunity for cross-cultural exchange and fostering international understanding during a time of increasing globalization. The train transporting the Japanese scouts is a testament to the advanced rail infrastructure of the era, which facilitated long-distance travel and enabled participants from around the world to attend the jamboree. The scouts, standing proudly on the platform, embody the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defined the scouting movement during the 1920s. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in history, as these young men from Japan and Denmark come together to celebrate their shared values and explore the world beyond their borders. The 2nd World Jamboree at Ermelunden would go down in history as a milestone event in the development of the international scouting movement.
