Framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides From Quirky Prints

Despite the fact the Scouting Movement was founded in 1907, it can be quite difficult to find framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides that give us any visual insight into scout and guiding activities from all those years ago.

Baden Powell originally founded the Scouting Movement for boys, but girls began reading their brothers’ copies of his publication ‘Scouting for Boys’ and they wanted to get involved too!

In 1909 - much to the surprise of Baden-Powell - some girls, dressed in variations of the Scout uniform, attended a Scouting rally at Crystal Palace. They asked Baden-Powell if he could design a programme for them too. Baden-Powell asked his sister Agnes to help him and the Girl Guide Association was born.

Half the men and women in the UK have been a scout or a guide in their childhood and the movement continues to enjoy enormous popularity. Tapping into this potential vein of nostalgia, the team at Quirky Prints set about collecting some framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides for their website of vintage photographs.

Their hunt for old black and white photographs and images took them to hundreds of antique shops, collectors’ fairs, vintage photograph dealers and specialists around the country.

The resulting collection is literally thousands of hand-picked vintage photographs, on all manner of topics, including landscapes, people, shops, far-flung civilizations and transport from years ago. And among the many old black and white, hand coloured and sepia photographs that were collected, was a selection of captivating framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides.

Within the dedicated SCOUTS & GUIDES category on their website, Quirky Prints offers a selection of these unique vintage photographs. Boy scouts line up for a troop inspection, while girl guides set about building a campfire and cooking some food.

All are captured in evocative colour or black and white photographic detail. These old, forgotten, but delightful vintage photographs, make stunning framed pictures. They become unique artworks, which can be hung in our homes, or bought as original and imaginative gifts for friends.

No matter that we know nothing of the people or places in these old photographs. They are moments frozen in time. Old Pictures with their own exclusive story to tell. And they have as much meaning and resonance with us today, as they had for those involved in creating the vintage photograph all those years ago.

The original framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides are all reproduced using the Giclee method on finest grade, heavyweight art paper, to preserve all the fine detail and quality of the image. They are then enlarged and presented in contemporary metal frames, which have been carefully chosen both to enhance the images and to complement any style of home décor.

For anyone who is completely uninspired and bored with the same prints offered for sale in the high street – those thousands of similar pictures that appear in thousands of homes across the UK - Quirky Prints offers something new, some different. For quirkiness you will not find anywhere else.

There are thirty-two other categories to choose from on the Quirky Prints website - from Agriculture to World War II – with literally thousands of images taken from original vintage photographs. Each of the old black and white photographs has been carefully restored to remove any damage, but preserve the originality of the image. Others have been painstakingly hand coloured or had their original colours restored. It has taken hours of photo restoration and burning the midnight oil.

The result is a remarkable visual time capsule of years gone by. Within the collection of framed vintage photographs of scouts and guides on the Quirky Prints website, we can share a glimpse of scout and guiding life all those years ago, when it began.
