EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of anticipation during a church parade in Bermuda, May 1927. A group of young Wolf Cubs, dressed in their crisp white uniforms and red caps, eagerly wait for the arrival of their Scout leaders. The scene exudes a sense of colonial charm, with the adults, both men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Wolf Cubs, a part of the Scouting movement, were popular in the British colonies, including Bermuda, during the 1920s. The Scouting movement, which began in the late 1800s, aimed to promote character development and outdoor skills among young boys. The Cub Scouts, for younger boys, focused on instilling values such as respect, discipline, and teamwork. The photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life of Bermuda during the colonial era. The hot, dry climate is reflected in the parched landscape, with the shops and cooper's signage adding to the vibrant street scene. The Union Jack flags fluttering in the breeze serve as a reminder of the strong British influence in the West Indies and the Caribbean. The photograph, with its historical significance and charming composition, transports us back in time, offering a unique perspective on the past. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Scouting movement and the rich history of Bermuda during the 1920s.
