EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Boy Scouts, Boy Scout Farm, 1917," captures a group of young Boy Scouts at work on a farm as part of an agricultural training program. The scene is set on a sunny day in the countryside, with the scouts standing in front of a sprawling cornfield. Dressed in their uniforms, they appear focused and determined as they engage in the hard work of farming, a testament to the Boy Scouts' commitment to character development and practical skills. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned Washington D.C. photography studio founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze. The studio, which operated from 1902 to 1955, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and became a leading supplier of images to newspapers and magazines. This particular image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. The Boy Scouts of America, which was founded in 1910, emphasized outdoor activities, citizenship training, and moral values. The agricultural program, known as "Farming in the Boy Scouts," was established in 1911 and aimed to teach scouts the value of hard work, self-reliance, and the importance of agriculture to the nation. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early days of the Boy Scouts and their dedication to fostering character, citizenship, and practical skills in America's youth.
