Welsh Youth Group Uniforms

Figure 1.-- Here we see theb 2nd Llandaff Scout Troop camping at Treguf Farm in 1961. Treguf Farm appears to be a Scout camong site.

Wales is of course part of the United Kingdom. We know of only two youth organizations in Wales, the Boy Scouts and the Boys' Brigade. As far as we know, Welsh Scouting was essentially the same as English Scouting. We know of no significant difference. We assume a badge identified Welsh Cubs and Scouts. We wonder if English boys in Wales also wore that badge. Perhaps it was seen as a unit identifier. We wonder how language is handled in Welsh Scouting. We suspect that this has changed substantially since Scouting was first established. We know nothing about the Boys' Brigade in Wales. Hopefully a Welsh reader will be able to provide us more information.

Boy Scouts

As far as we know, Welsh Scouting was essentially the same as English Scouting. We know of no significant difference. We assume a badge identified Welsh Cubs and Scouts. We wonder if English boys in Wales also wore that badge. Perhaps it was seen as a unit identifier. We wonder how language is handled in Welsh Scouting. We suspect that this has changed substantially since Scouting was first established.

Boys' Brigade

We know nothing about the Boys' Brigade in Wales. We suspect that like the Scouts there is little difference between the Welsh and English Boys' Brigade. We have many of the same questions about the Boys' brigade in Wales that we have about the Scouts.
