EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and camaraderie among a group of Russian Scouts in exile during their camping trip to Montfort-l'Amaury, near Paris, France, in 1933. 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 distinctive uniforms and hats, are engaged in an outdoor activity, likely hiking or nature exploration, with the picturesque Montfort-l'Amaury castle in the background. Their smiling faces and the sense of community they exude despite their displacement from their homeland, highlight the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. This image offers a poignant glimpse into the history of Russian exiles in the 1930s and the enduring appeal of the scouting movement, which continues to foster personal growth, leadership skills, and a sense of adventure for generations.
