Poised

Just what this Scout may be doing with latex gloves on in the outdoors is hard to say as what his knee is resting on is like shingles or tiny pebbles in a walled off area while his opposite number is standing up also in gloves.

The pose suggests some degree of attentiveness, looking forward with his back straight os maybe he's waiting some instructions from the Scout leader???
Given the surface, the leather boots with a thick sole would appear to make sense. 

It's very much much the Conker season as every Cub and Scout used to know so we'd look around for them before strengthening in vinegar and threading string in them to play that old British schoolboy game.
