Ashtray Baden Blotter Chapel Conference Cubs Kensington Meeting Powell Queens Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1960s, three Cub Scouts sit attentively in the meeting room of Baden Powell House, located at Queens Gate in South Kensington, London. The historic building, which was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1961, serves as the international headquarters for The Scout Association. The meeting room, with its modern furnishings and decor, is adorned with Scouting paraphernalia, including blotters and ashtrays emblazoned with the organization's iconic emblem. The Cub Scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are deep in conversation, their young faces focused intently on the table before them. In the background, the chapel of Baden Powell House can be seen, its serene atmosphere in stark contrast to the bustling activity of the meeting room. The chapel, with its cross and open Bible, serves as a reminder of the spiritual and moral values that underpin the Scouting movement. The photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1960s and the rich history of Scouting in the United Kingdom. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Baden Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, and the impact he has had on generations of young people. The meeting room and chapel at Baden Powell House continue to be a place where Scouts gather to learn, grow, and build lifelong friendships.
