EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1949, where a group of young boys from Seaford College Sea Scouts proudly pose with their well-deserved prize for winning the Sussex County Camping Competition. The George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this precious moment in history, allowing us to glimpse into the past. In their neatly pressed uniforms adorned with scarfs and woggles, these determined scouts stand tall on a set of stone steps. Their faces beaming with pride as they clutch onto an impressive trophy cup, symbolizing their triumph over other scout groups in the county. The ivy-covered walls behind them add a touch of natural beauty to this remarkable scene. The attention to detail is striking; each boy's shoes are polished immaculately, reflecting their commitment and discipline. A flag waves gently in the background, reminding us of the spirit of camaraderie that binds these young adventurers together. Transported back to an era defined by resilience and unity, we can't help but admire these boys' dedication to scouting values even amidst post-war challenges. This photograph serves as a testament to their hard work and perseverance during those transformative years. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's efforts in preserving historical records like this one, we are able to appreciate not only the significance of scouting but also gain insight into our shared heritage.
