Countries developed their own very differnt uniform styles, making international jamborees quite colorful events. The only consistent thread around the world was that all Scouts wore short pants and keesocks. Other elements of the uniform such as caps and shorts were quite varies. The colors of the uniform also varied widely. The only significant exceptions to the short pants and kneesocks was Scotland where the boys wore kilts and the United Sates where boys mostly wore long pants. Some American Scouts wore shorts, but except for camp and jambores, most Scouts wore long pants. American Cubs were even less likely to wear short pants than the older Boy Scouts. This is because Cub camps were less common in the 1950s than is the case today. And it was camp outings and Jamborees where Boy Scouts were most likely to wear the short pants uniform.
