EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and camaraderie among the Burmese scouts of St. Philips, 26th Rangoon Troop, as they engage in a refreshing water activity during an outing in Yangon, Burma. The image, taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s, shows a group of boys in their scout uniforms, led by a stern yet caring scout leader, as they wade through the shallow waters of a river or lake. The boys appear to be fully immersed in the experience, with some laughing and splashing each other, while others explore their surroundings or help their leader. Scouting was a popular activity in Burma during this period, with the Boy Scouts Association of Burma having been established in 1913. The movement provided young boys with opportunities for adventure, learning new skills, and developing a sense of responsibility and citizenship. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of scouting and the importance of outdoor activities for the physical, mental, and social development of young people. The lush greenery and clear waters of the scene contrast beautifully with the boys' uniforms, adding to the overall sense of tranquility and harmony. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Burma, with its unique blend of Asian and colonial influences, and the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the scouting movement in the region.
