Photo of the Month - October 1997

From Mexico we have a pair of photos that perfectly illustrate that Scouting the world over is about people having fun together. The Spanish translation here was done by a colleague of mine, Jose, from Spain. Unfortunately Mexican Spanish isn't quite the same as Spanish Spanish (if you see what I mean) so the translation isn't perfect. It does mean though that the contributor of this month's photo was able to describe the pictures in his own language.

Luis Rebollar, Sub-leader of Wolf Cub Pack 5 "Tenochcas" in the district of Iztacalco, Mexico City has sent in these photos. They were taken on 6th September during Scout Week 1997.

Hola Mark:
