1969 Association Caribbean Dominica Dominican Guyana Guyanese Independence Independent Jamboree Marching Past Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and adventure at the 3rd Caribbean Scouting Jamboree held in Guyana, South America, from August 13-22, 1969. In the scene, scouts from the small Caribbean island of Dominica proudly march past, dressed in their uniforms adorned with the emblems of their association. The year 1969 was a significant one for the region as several Caribbean countries, including Dominica, were on the brink of gaining their independence from British rule. The scouts' determined strides reflect the optimism and excitement of this transformative period. The jamboree, which brought together scouts from various Caribbean islands and countries, was an opportunity for these young people to connect, learn new skills, and explore their shared values of community, respect, and resilience. The diverse group of men and women, some carrying the flags of their respective countries, add to the vibrant and inclusive atmosphere of the event. This photograph, taken in the late 1960s, offers a glimpse into a time when the Scout Movement played a crucial role in shaping the lives of young people in the Caribbean. The image is a testament to the enduring power of scouting in fostering unity, personal growth, and a sense of belonging, especially during times of change and transition.
