Figure 1.--This brother and sister were Greek. I think that these are Greek Scout uniforms. The portrait was taken in Alexandria Egypt, we tink during the 1930s. We do not know if there ewre Greek Scout units in Alexandria or if perhaps they have joind British units.

A British reader writes, "In overseas locations many children would have attended international schools. Often these schools operate out of school activities. One of the activities often offered is scouting and it is often how children join the organisation. Many of these international schools, especially ones in Egypt night have been British. The word 'British' doesnot mean it was Brit owned it might have non-Brit owners who taught British curriculum." Another reader writes, "The photograph shows Greek children but the Scouting uniform has a very British feel about it. I think it quite possible that the Children attended a British International School.There are several schools in this city that were founded in the 20's and 30's or even earlier and still are in existance." Yes, they may well have attened a British unternational school. The uniforms do have a Bfritish look to them. But many early Scout associations at first copied or were influenced by the British uniforms. The boy does seem to be wearing the Greel Cub uniform. I'm not sure about the Guide iniform. >
