EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and resilience among a group of Russian Scouts in exile at their camp in Fabregas, France, during the 1930s. The National Association of Russian Scouts was formed in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, when scouting was banned in Russia. These young boys, dressed in their scout uniforms and donning hats, are seen here engaged in a woodcraft activity, sawing and cutting timber to build or improve their camp facilities. The trees in the background serve as a reminder of the natural beauty of their surroundings, providing a stark contrast to the political upheaval that forced them into exile. The image showcases the spirit of teamwork and determination, as the scouts work together to create a sense of community and normalcy amidst the challenges of their displacement. This photograph offers a glimpse into a specific moment in history, highlighting the enduring appeal and importance of the scouting movement, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
