Greek Scouts have destinctive uniforms for the different levels. We have some information on the modern uniform. We note Greek Cubs and Scouts wearing a khaki uniform in the 1950s. We have information on the current Greek Scout uniforms. Lykopoula or Cubs wear yellow shirts, khaki shorts, kneesocks, neckerchief, and traditional green peaked caps. We have noted different shade of yellow shirts. Some Cubs wear yellow flashes on their kneesocks matching the yellow shirts. Proskopoi or Scouts wear shirts, khaki shorts, knee socks, neckerchief, and beret. Anichneftes or ??? wear shirts, khaki shorts or longs, knee socks, neckerchief, and hats. There are also several special groups. Aeroproskopoi (Air scouts) wear blue. Naftoproskopoi (Sea scouts) wear red. There are also Dasoproskopoi (Forest scouts), but I have no information on their uniforms.
