Overseas Caps: French School Scout Group




Figure 1.--This French group wears bright red overseas caps. Note the tightly rolled kerchiefs.

A French school although not officially associated with French Scouting runs an independent Scout group. The group wears destinctive red campaign caps with blue shirts, lederhosen, and white socks worn with black boots. The caps are plain red without adornment. This is the only group that we know of that wears tis a brightly colored cap. Americans refer to this cap as an overseas cap. I am not sure what it is called in France.
