- I'd be interested too in how the uniform looks like in other countries.
-
- (hello rec.scouting readers from Spain, France, Germany, UK, Canada,
- USA, Vietnam, Taiwan, Russia, Argentina, Chile, USA, Belgium, Norway,
- Finland, Holland, South Africa, Australia, Danemark and elsewhere. Speak up!)
-
-
- The current swiss scout uniform is limited to a heavy-duty cotton shirt
- (extremely comfortable, keeps cool in the summer, warm in the winter),
- a scout neckerchief, appropriate pants (blue jeans or bermudas)
- and hiking boots.
-
- The shirt colors are: light blue for wolves (cubs), khaki beige
- for scouts, red for rangers and rovers and forest green for leaders.
- Den and patrol leaders wear the beige shirt and a grey shoulder cord.
- Other leaders have a yellow, orange, red, purple or blue cord,
- depending on their assignments. The unit's and the council's
- arms are worn on or above the shirt pockets.
-
- Each unit has its own neckerchief, single-colored or split in 2 colors,
- with or without a border. As an example, my wolf pack's neckerchief is
- purple on the left, green on the right and has a black border.
- My troop's neckerchief is deep blue with a red border. Neckerchief
- colors are unique within the same council.
-
- Optional items are: brown BP hat or blue girl scout hat, scout belt,
- satchel (wolves), pocket knife or hunting knife and Recta compass.
