Figure 1.--Here we see Austrian Cubs and Scouts in 1976. The Scouts wear both the old-style hats and the new style berets. The Cubs still wear peaked caps. The caption reads, "loretto fahnengruss". I'm not sure what that means. Photograph courtesy of the Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs.

We do not have any details on the early Scout uniform, but Scouts by the 1930s were wearing the same basic uniform that was worn by Scouts in many other countries. Scouts wore shirts with short pants and kneesoicks. I'm not sure what kind of shorts were wirn, but some look like brown corduroy shorts. Some boys wore Lederhosen, but they were not part of the formal uniform. Since the 1990s most Austrian Scouts have worn jeans. Austrian Scouts introduced a major change in the uniform during 1995. The unifom shirt changed from beige to dark red. Cubs in the 1930s wore the standard British peaked cap and jumper like the British Scouts. I'm not sure about the color, but would guess green., but the uniform was different than the British Cub uniform. Color images from the 1970s confirm that the Cubs wore green jumpers with green anf yellow peaked caps.

I'm not sure about the color, but would guess green., but the uniform was different than the British Cub uniform. Color images from the 1970s confirm that the Cubs wore green jumpers with green anf yellow peaked caps as can be seen here (figure 1). This same basic green uniform cap and jumper was worn into the 1990s. Cubs began wearing a new blue uniform in 1995,
