Figure 1.--This Austrian snapshot is undated, but surely was taken in the 1930s before the 1938 Anscluss, perhaps in Vienna. The boys are standing infront of what looks like an important church. Perhaps some Austrian readers will recognize the church.

Available images provide some information on the Austrian Scout uniform during the inter-War era. We do not yet have any images from the 1920s, but some are avaiable from the 1930s. One image from 1931 show the boys wearing the traditional wide-brimmed Scout hat. And we note other images with the boys wearing these hats. This was fairly common for Scout groups at the time. The boys wore the same standard Scout shirts and shorts that we have seen boys in other countries were wearing. I think they were brown or khaki, but am not yet positive about that. They wear kneesocks with light-colored bands. We are not sure about the colors. This appears to have been fairly standard in Austri. The photograph here in 1937 shows the boys wearing what looks like the same shirt with dark-colored, perhaps, corduroy shorts (figure 1). The color may have been tan and brown. The boys wear the same dark kneesocks with light-colored bands. I'm not sure what color the neckerchiefs were, but they are not the red and white (Austrian national colors) ones we see in the post-World war II period. We suspect that the same color was used, but there may have been diffrences among the different associations.
