Re: Scout jamboree.
Interesting to note that, apart from kilt length and 3-tassle sporrans, these three men have nothing in common.
Different sporran height, quite different upper garments, various accessories -- is the one on the right wearing a mobile phone holder as well as a dirk on his belt?

Zippered tartan jacket on left is very, very nice. I hope it's alright if I port this to Brooks Brothers with the suggestion they add it to the next spring collection. I'm serious!

Err note the date, 1939. I have no idea what the small holder is for, maybe tobacco or snuff. The photo was freely available on the net.

A very practical look, that I like a lot. On the far left he seems to be wearing a locket belt - a Scout belt presumably. I still wear an old Boys Brigade locket belt with my kilt and it seems to go well.

Lovely sources thank you.

A piper of the Cameron Highlanders wearing a belted plaid

He's wearing a kilt and shoulder plaid not a belted plaid.

He's wearing a kilt and shoulder plaid not a belted plaid.

Belted plaid in this case meaning the equivalent of a drummer's plaid, not meaning a great kilt.
