Most German Scouts wore the uniform shirt. Less common were uniform pants. We note boys wearing uniform pants to some extent. Here corduroy shorts were popular. We also noice a variety of other pants, including jeans, sports shorts, and Lederhosen. We note corduroy shorts were popular for a time and were widely worn in several other countries. Gradually corduroy shorts gave way to jeans. Lederhosen or leather shorts were especially popular in Germany although boys in some other counties, especially Austria, have also worn them. Lederhosen were most common in Bavaria and southern Germany, but appear to have been widely worn by German Scouts. we note German Scouts wearing lederhosen both with the Scout uniform and when wearing regular clothes for Scout activities--especially at Scout camps. Short pants were worn during the early phase of Scouting before the NAZIs banned Scouting. Short were also widely worn wjen Scouting was recived after the war. This continued into the 1960, but then we begin to see shorts declining in popularity.
