I began Scouting in 1959, our Aussie uniform was the khaki, neckers (scarves to us) were worn with the collarless shirt, shorts for all, long socks with troop colour knitted sock tops and lemon-squeezer hat (great for the Aussie sun). I found this uniform ideal even for the two years I spent in Singapore/Malaya. We were quite happy to wear the scarf as an identifier when out of uniform. One item of clothing we did have in those years was a 'campfire shirt' on which we sewed our collected/swapped badges, the shirt was in troop colours and was very personalised....we did stick to the collarless

was a Scouter/Rover Scout in the 1950-60's where our uniform was khaki collarless shirt, shorts, khaki sox with sock tops in troop colours, black laceup shoes, brown leather belt with BS clasp, green scarf with Queensland emblem and traditional hat. This uniform was current overseas in Singapore/Malaya in those years. Did the PTC at Jurong, Singapore in 1962 and the same uniform was very common. Still prefer idea of collarless shirt with scarf.
