Boys Brigade Uniform Headgear: Campaign Caps


Figure 1.--This Boys' Briogade band participating in Queen Elizaberths golden jubilee celebration wore palin blue campaign caps with metal badges.

The Boys' Brigade also adopted the campaign cap. A popular style was blue with white piping. I'm not sure just when they adopted the campaign cap, it presumably varied from cvountry to county. Actually as the Boys' Brigade originated in Scotland, they may have first worn actual Glengarry bonnets with plaid or check trim. This the Boys' Brigade may have wiorn the campaign cap before either the Italian Balial or the Hitler Youth, but we can not yet confirm this. We have noted the Boys' Brigade wearing many different styles of campaign camps. Some like the New Zealand boys seen here had extensive white piping or trim. The Boys Brrigade today is the only uniformed youth group that we know of that continues to wear the campaign cap as the official headgear.
