Boys' Historical Uniform Garments: Gloves

Figure 1.--These French Scouts wear white gloves woth their uniform for a formal ceremony.

HBC has noted photographs of boys in youth groups wearing white gloves for formal occassions. Most of the images we have noted are Scouts. This seems to have been a particularly common convention among rench scouts, although we have noted Scouts in other countries also wearing white gloves for formal occasions. we believe that white gloves were also used in other youth groups, but we have littlr information at this time.
