ProScouter06 34 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi all, and happy new year. recently I’ve been getting back into collecting of scouting memorabilia. My time out of the scouting profession has been a good refresh to look back on my experiences with fresh eyes. Especially as I introduce my son to scouting as his lion den leader. That said, I’ve come across this neat item that is being made as a reproduction of this timeless classic scouter dress uniform from 1966. I’m looking into having one made through battle dress unlimited. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/presale-centennial-ii-scouter-service-2780002888 Has anyone ordered one or seen any worn? I had a volunteer in my first council that wore one, it was neat. if you’re interested in this, contact Duane at Battledress@hotmail.com Link to post Share on other sites
MikeS72 422 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 While I have not seen this particular reproduction, I do have at least one original uniform for each decade from 1940 to the present. P.S. - I looked at the linked website, and according to the description they stopped taking orders last September. Link to post Share on other sites
ProScouter06 34 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 @MikeS72 yes the website is out of date. They are currently taking orders as of January 1, 2022. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mrjohns2 520 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don't want one enough to order one, but that is totally awesome. Amazing that someone is doing this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 674 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looks good if you have the trim, military physique to pull it off...most of my Scouter friends (myself included), do not. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post physics32 14 Posted October 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2022 During a discussion on unit hats a couple months ago, I showed the Centennial II uniform photos to our Scouts. They decided that the garrison style cap would be their parade headgear (they lead 4 city parades each year). We reached out to the Scouter who makes the Centennial II and ordered about 20 caps in various sizes. This afternoon was their first parade in the new caps. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
MattR 2652 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Very retro! It looks fun. Hopefully it will help start some conversations. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
