Youth Group French Tour: Camping


Figure 1.-- Here we see the boys camping with their tents. They are being visited by Paris officials, among these military officers. The presence of the military suggests to us that the photographs were taken during or just after the War. I'm not sure just where they are camping.

We see the boys marching through Paris and a city park. We also see the boys camping with their tents. They are being visited by Paris officials, among these military officers. The presence of the military suggests to us that the photographs were taken during or just after the War. I'm not sure just where they are camping. My guess is that it is in a Paris park because I doubt if Paris or other government officials are going to trudge very far into the country to see a group of Boy Scouts. Presumably this was not serious camping as they were in a park. Rather it was where the boys could stay at night while sightseeing during the day.
