Figure 1.-- I attended the 21st Wold Scout Jamboree in England (2007). While I was there, I did get to meet some Russian scouts and got a fairly good look at their uniform. There seemed to be two different coloured shirts that they wore; either a greenish-grey colour or a dark-yellow coupled with forest green insignia and lettering on patches. There didn't seem to be a difference in the uniform colour by sex, perhaps age was the factor. The scouts I met were from southern Russia, so I cannot account for other regions.

A reader has provided some information on the 2000s. "I attended the 21st Wold Scout Jamboree in England (2007).

They were rather unsociable to start, but warmed up very quickly. I'll attach a photo of some American scouts and Russian scouts who posed for a photograph."
