  • Sea Scout smoking a pipe - England, 1930s

    And another Scout smoking - a pipe, this time! He is wearing most unusual headgear - rather like the Italian Fascist Youth hat of the time . . .and he looks distinctly older than 21 years of age!

  • Sea Scout smoking a cigarette - England, 1930s

    Why, Baden Powell would have had a fit! A rather snazzy sweater, though.

  • Sea Scout skippers (or masters) - England, 1930s

    How nice to see the leaders showing some affection!


  • Sea Scout in skimpy swimwear with Union Jack flag, pretending to throw the discus - England, 1930s

    Dear, dear, it gets worse . . .

    Hmmm . . .obviously one of the Scout Masters was keen on photography and heroic poses.

  • Sea Scouts having fun with pails of water - England, 1930s (2)

    A wonderful action shot this, I think!

  • Sea Scouts having fun with pails of water - England, 1930s

    Well, I suppose they ARE Sea Scouts . . .

  • Sea Scouts entertaining some visitors to their camp - England, 1930s

    Ah, at last some Scouts who actually look as if they really are teenagers . . .but is the handsome one on the left of picture actually smoking a cigarette? And what on earth are they doing to the gentleman on the bed? How odd. Comments from an earl…

  • Seven Sea Scouts - England, 1930s

    I do hope they are not throwing stones at squirrels . . .

  • Shirtless Sea Scout washing his legs - England, 1930s

  • Sea Scout sitting beside two buckets - England, 1930s

    Is he eating a bowl of porridge, or making up a face-pack? And why does the chap coming out of the tent look so guilty?

  • Sea Scout skipper (or Scout Master) and young Scout - England, 1930s

    I really don't think this sort of behaviour would be tolerated today . . .

  • Four Sea Scouts - England, 1930s

    I think the three standing up are very fond of each other . . .

  • Sea Scout with some rope - England, 1930s

    What a stance he is adopting! Obviously he was more used to hanging around Picadilly than erecting tent poles . . . And he must be at least 25 years of age
