Australian Boy Scout Uniforms: Garments


Figure 1.--Australian Scout working on art in the aboriginal style. He wears the 1960s-70s moss green uniform.

Australian Scouts have used the traditional Scout uniform items. There have been some changes over time. Scouts continued to wear the traditional lemon squeezer hats somewhat longer than Scouts in other countries. The hats seem here seem to have a more pointed crown than many of these hats that we have seen. Cubs wore the tradition English peaked green and yellow caps. The only Scout garment that we have noted that is unique to Australia is a wide brimmed hat with a flat top. There are only minor differences among the different levels of Scouting. Australia Scout garments are somewhat unsual in that Cubs and Scouts, except for the headwear, wore the same basic uniform.

Cubs

There are now only minor differences among the different levels of Scouting. Australia Scout garments are somewhat unsual in that Cubs and Scouts, except for the headwear, wore the same basic uniform. We believe that initially Australian Cubs had a destinctive uniform based in the British Cub uniform, but we do not yet have details on historical Cub uniform garments.
