As I was told by the "old hands" when the Scouts in Beaver Patrol wanted
to wear red berets a couple of years ago, the red beret is no longer an
official BSA hat. However, if that doesn't hold true (or doesn't bother
you), you should get a copy of one of these two mail order catalogs:

Brigade Quartermasters

U.S. Cavalry

I found red to be extremely hard to find, and that black is easy to come
by. Since we couldn't buy real Scout-issue berets, when Beaver Patrol
petitioned the PLC for permission to wear a beret, they were going to
attach a brass "scout" pin to the GI surplus version they'd found in the
1994 U.S. Cavalry catalog.

(Aside: The Beavers were given condtional permission to wear them
instead of our Troop hats. They had to become a B-P Patrol to earn the
right to wear the beret, and they had to remain a B-P Patrol to keep
wearing them. Although the Beavers became a B-P Patrol the very next
quarter, the Scouts never bought the ~$15.00 berets.)

My catalogs are at work, so I can't give you the address and phone
number just now. I'll post an update Tuesday evening.

YiS,
Drew
