- Description
- A black and white photograph of a group of Boy Scouts. The boys are standing and sitting on a sidewalk corner at the intersection of two streets. They all hold clip boards with unlined paper in their hands; most appear to be gazing intently across the street while others are more focused on their notes and/or drawings. The group is a racially mixed group of children. There are cars, buildings and a pair of unidentified people in the background of the photograph. The back of the photograph has an inscription of a number: [1104.01] and a photographer's stamp.
