Figure 1.--Here we see Canadian Cubs and Scouts in Vancouver, British Colombia. The photograph is not dated, but it looks like the late-1950s. The unit is very well turned out. Notice how long the shorts are, a common style in the 50s. A reader recognizes the Cambie Theater across the street.

A Canadian contingent attended the 7th World Jamboree which was held in Austria (1951). This was only 6 years after World War II. Austria was part of NAZI Germany during the War. Given the terrible attrocities committed by the Germans during the war, it is interesting that the Jamboree was held in former Reich territory. The Europeans were very rapifdly putting the past behind them, especially the yiuth. There were 36 Canadian Scouts attending the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth (1953). As A British Dominion, the Coronation was still an important event for Canadians. Canadian Scouts held their 2nd National Jamboree in the Connaught Ranges, Ottawa (1953). Attendance totale 1,196 Scouts. The 8th World Jamboree was held on Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada (1955). The 9th World Jamboree was held at Indaba, Moot in England (1957). There were 1,500 Canadians who attended. The 10th World Jamboree was held in the Philippines (1959). There were 91 Canadians who attend. The uniform as best we can tell remained largely unchanged. Cubs cointinued to wear a uniform just like Nritish Cubs, a peaked cap, green jumper (sweater), short pants and knee socks. We think the short pants were grey, but we are not positive. Grey shorts were more common in Britain than Canada.
