Dutch (Netherlands)Boy Scouts: Traditional Sea Scout Uniforms


Figure 1.--These Dutch Sea Scouts wear blue shorts, short pants, and kneesocks. I'm not sure when the photograph was taken, perhaps in the late 1930s before World War II.

The Sea Scouts of course had a different uniform, presumably based on Dutch naval uniforms. The caps were white flat toped naval caps. I'm not sure what color sarfe they wre or if it varied by unit. The had dark blue shorts and short pants. The pants were corduroy like the regular Scouts only in blue. Their kneesocks were also dark blue. For sailing they wore tennis shoes. For dress occasions and parades, leather shoes.
