EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the spirit of youth and adventure embodied in Errol Lewis, a proud scout from Georgetown, British Guyana in South America. The image, taken in the mid-20th century, shows Errol donning the traditional scouting uniform, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, neckerchief, and belt. His bright, smiling eyes reflect a sense of excitement and determination, as if he's ready to embark on a new adventure at a moment's notice. Scouting was a popular activity in British Guyana during this time, with the movement having been introduced to the country in the early 1900s. The Scout Association of Guyana, which was established in 1921, aimed to provide young people with opportunities for character development, citizenship training, and practical skills. Errol's portrait is a testament to the enduring appeal of scouting and the impact it had on the lives of young people in British Guyana. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the country, which was then a British colony. Today, the scouting movement continues to thrive in Guyana, inspiring new generations of young people to explore the world around them and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. This image is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a poignant reminder of the importance of providing opportunities for young people to grow and learn. Errol's smile and the sense of adventure in his eyes are a reminder that no matter where we come from or what challenges we face, the spirit of youth and the promise of a brighter future are universal.
