Wolf Cub Uniforms: Sri Lanka


Figure 1.--The British boys in Sri lanka here look to be wearing the traditional green and yellow peaked cub cap, but they wear white shirts and khaki shorts. Alo they weak white ankle socks which was rarely seen in Britian. The closed-toe sandals were more common for cubs. We do not know if local Cubs wore the same uniform. Click on the image to see the rest of the group.

Sri Lanka used to be called Ceylon when it was a part of the British Empire. Like India, Sri lanka was granted its independence after World War II. We have very limited information on the Cub program in Sri Lanka. We do not one image of a Cub group in the country. The photograh looks to be all British boys, suggesting that the Scouting movement was not integrated. We are noit sure about the date, but it looks to be like a 1950s photograph. The uniform is very different than the British Cub uniform. Certainly the climatic difference was a factir here. The boys look to be wearing the traditional green and yellow peaked cub cap, but they wear white shirts and khaki shorts. Alo they weak white anklre socks which was rarely seen in Britian. The closed-toe sandals were more common for cubs. We do not know if local Cubs wore the same uniform. Sri Lanka has remained a member of the Commonwealth, so it is still part of the Commonwealth Scouting Conference.
