Boy Scout Uniform Garters

[Wompet]

Sock garters, that is.

I had these show up today in one of my eBay searches. I think they were mentioned awhile back in the "kilted scouts" thread.

They would give a different look ...

Boy, that brings back memories. I wore Scout knee socks with my B.S. shorts back when I was a Scout in the '60's. I was just wondering the other day if there was ever a Boy Scout (US/UK, etc) kilt or tartan. Of course, back in those days, we could never get away with wearing a kilt--especially in Texas!

Cheers,

Wow, haven't seen any of those in a long time!

I was always trying to find the gaiters. To bad they're not a part of the uniform anymore. I still might get a pair, though I'm not in uniform much anymore (shool+work=less scouting, unfortunately).

Those are similar to the garters that the Almost Unwearoutable Sock Company makes for their hose.

As for an official BSA tartan, the Clan MacLaren has a special relationship with the scouting movement that allows any holders of a Wood badge to wear their tartan.

slightly off...Todd, I'm trying to bum a camera so I can get pics of your freebies before I send them. Hopefully before the weekend.
