EDITORS COMMENTS
great print capturing a historic moment in Scouting and maritime history, as RSS Discovery is formally handed over to His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, Commodore of the Sea Scouts, by Mr Ormsby Gore, in the presence of Chief Scout Lord Baden-Powell. The occasion took place on 9th October 1937, and the setting is formal and elegant, with all the distinguished gentlemen dressed in their best uniforms. The RSS Discovery, a sailing ship that was donated to the Scout Association by Sir Thomas Sopwith, is being presented to The Duke of Kent, who will serve as the Commodore of the Sea Scouts. The ship was intended to provide Sea Scouts with valuable sailing experiences and to promote nautical skills and adventure. Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, looks on approvingly as the exchange takes place. The image captures a sense of pride and excitement, as this moment marks a significant milestone for both the Scout Association and the Sea Scouts. The print also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s, an era of formal occasions, civility, and tradition. The men in the photo exude a sense of confidence and determination, embodying the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that is synonymous with Scouting. Overall, this print is a fascinating glimpse into Scouting history and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Sea Scouts and their connection to the sea and maritime traditions.
