Boys in Boy Scout uniforms work over their horses in this glass negative, a detail that sets it apart from the other animal pictures on this board. The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910, and early troops often learned practical skills such as horsemanship and animal care alongside camping and first aid. The Bain News Service, which produced this negative, was a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news and feature pictures in the early 1900s. The record does not give a date or confirm the title, so the exact occasion is unknown, but a second negative of the same scene exists in the collection.
