- Well, here's a brief description of the dutch uniforms.
-
- The youngest scouts are 'beavers', aged 5-7.
- They wear a red sweatshirt, with a blue picture of 'Lange Doener',
- the main character in their play. they wear a blue baseball cap, blue
- trousers.
-
- Their leaders the same, without the cap.
- Optionally, there is a red shirt available, for the summer.
-
- The next group are the 'welpen' (boys) and 'kabouters' (girls). (Most
- groups mixed them up.)
- They wear a heavy-duty cotton blouse, color green, brown trousers (although
- most wear jeans), and a cap in the form of half the earth, green, with
- yellow 'meridians' (welpen) or a wollen cap (kabouters)
-
- Leaders idem ditto.
-
- Next group is the scouts, aged 12-15
- Waterscouts have blue uniforms, Landscouts kaki brown, girls sometimes an
- ugly color red/orange.
-
- Older groups use the same uniforms, but without a cap.
-
- Each group has it's own color tie, but we alse use the scottish tartans for
- that. My group uses the McDonald tartan.
-
- (All recommands from other dutch scouts welcome, I may have forgotten
- something.)
