Carrying the Chief Scout, Stockholm, Sweden

"… The Chief Scout then descended the hill to have a look at the Scouts, but he got more than he bargained for, as he was promptly seized and tossed in the air (before the anxious eyes of his wife) and then carried down the lines, lying full length on the Scouts’ shoulders. He was brought back to the terrace and safely deposited, whereupon he thanked the Scouts for his nice ride. The Chief Guide was then seized and though not actually tossed, was carried round by a party of girls, including the two Chief Commissioners. She looked thoroughly at ease in this novel form of carriage, and smiled and waved like royalty from its state coach."
