Few drink advertisements of the mid-twentieth century carried as wholesome a crowd as this one, which places a Coca-Cola sign in front of the Boy Scouts gathered for a jamboree in Washington, D.C. Scout jamborees were large national gatherings where thousands of uniformed boys camped, competed and took part in service and ceremony, and corporate sponsors often supplied refreshments and signage at such events. Coca-Cola had long cultivated an image of all-American good cheer, and tying its name to the scouting movement fit that strategy neatly. The picture is worth a closer look for how it blends commercial promotion with the civic-minded youth culture of its era.
