This is the Traditional Scout, the one I always had time for in full uniform where each and every item of it was designed for a purpose and has a symbolism that doesn't fall for fashion as scouting uniform was never about that.
It was all about practicality so we wear shorts to avoiding the damaging and muddying that happens if you wear longs in say erecting a tent and we keep our legs warm with thick proper long socks.
We are trusted to use a long sharp knife having learned how to use it so it is held in a leather holster on our belt for ease of access.
It is a uniform for the more mature Scout that builds up on what he wore as a Wolf Cub.
