The hat was made of felt. It had a wide brim with an indented crown, separated into four equal segments. It looks rather looking like a cowboy hat. It has a leather band and a chin strap. This basic style has remained unchanged since it was adopted by Baden Powell in the 1900s. It is often wore with a Scout pin at he front.
