Additional Information
Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America grew to be one of the most popular organizations promoting virtuous ethics and outdoor skills for young men in the United States, and by the time of this photograph, they were associated with allowing young boys to learn these skills from more experienced troops and Scout Masters. This photograph from 1942 depicts the era and the organization in a period of transformation as the nation was fully engaged in World War II and experiencing significant forces of adult men enlisting to fight in Europe and the Pacific Theater.
The Boy Scouts of America was formed to "prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law." The programs that young participants engage in are designed to build positive moral character and prepare them with fundamental world skills, and in the later years, programs that can help prepare them with career skills to help them remain productive members of society. The organization owns hundreds of camps across the United States and holds events where scouts can learn skills in the outdoors and augment the skills they gain in other programs and activities.
This photograph bears a distinctive aesthetic that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating a link between the past and present that allows a glimpse into the past. This was one of the most influential eras for the Boy Scouts and allowed the organization to flourish in postwar America.
