National Boy Scout Uniforms: Unknown Images (Perhaps Low Countries)


Figure 1.-- This snapshot is unidentified. It shows a group that is obviousl Boy scouts saluting a group of peasant, probably in the 1920s. At the time Scouts uniforms were similar in many countries. The boys are obviously European. It looks to us based on the peasant woman's white head wear that the group is froim the Low Lans (Belgium or the Netherlands) or perhaps northern France. We are also unsure why the boys are saluting the peasants. Most of the boys would have neem middle-class boys from towns and cities. Perhaps the peasants provided a lunch for the boys during a hike into the countryside.
