Figure 1.--Notice the many different ways that these Scottih Scouts in the 1960 are wearing their Balmoral bonets.

I was not sure about the Balmoral tam, but a reader report that his troop in the 1960s wore berets looking rather like balmorals. We now notice Scottish Scouts wearing berets after World War II. They look rather like Balmoral bonets and the Scottish Scouts referred to them as bonets. I'm not sure when theywere first intoduced, but we notice them being worn with the khaki uniform duing the1960s (figure 1). They were phased out when a new uniform was intricuced in 1967. We notice some of these bonnets styled differently. Some had poms and looklike Balmorals. Other did not have poms and look more like standard berets. I'm not sure just how precise te officiasl rgilations were bout these bonets. One interesting aspect is llthe diffrnt ways the boys had ofwearing them. Again I do not know if there was an official regulation about this.
