Some belts are worn over the lederhosen with no attachment to them. This may be in part an ornamental look. The boy may like the look of a belt or be especially proud of a buckle worn with it. The belt does have, however, many practical purposes beyond holding up the lederhosen. Belts can be used to provide convenient support for a variety of accessories like canteens or holders for glasses, compasses, knives, first aid kits, and other useful implements when camping. The boy thus does not have to wirry about carrying these items and as they are on his belt are handy and can be retrived almost effortlessly.
