The scouts here are from Westminster and Ealing troups and they are on an excursion in Wisley Park, Surrey. The scouts fashions are quite peculiar and typical of 1960s scout uniforms. The boys wear overcoats, berets, and walking boots with turnover tops and thick socks, yet bare their legs with tiny shorts.

This is just as I remember scouting in the late 1950s and early 1960s. And despite the shorts we were not cold at all. And yes, the shorts wewre that short if you wanted them to be.

Khaki shorts very durable in all weather. English scouts & guides able withstand all kinds of weather & hardships. They just get on with it & don't complain like now.

I know I like wearing shorts and probably more often than most, but I certainly wouldn't wear them in the snow like this I'd get my onesie out and wrap up warm!

That's England for you. If you walk around even in cold weather you see babies in prams without socks on.

to juki0h that remark is offensive, you are suggesting anyone in the scouts are homosexuals , to say there are none would be silly but you are suggesting we all are who have been or are in the Scout Movement , and yes scouts dis wear shorts even during the winter, suggest you go into any city center even in winter with snow on the ground and see how many young women are walking around with no coats on and maybe in short skirts, when you are young you do not feel the cold.

They were too embarrassed to be seen in those shorts so they just threw snowballs at the camera.

I was born a year after this footage was taken, but I remember the days when, even in the U.S., people were expected to dress up. If you were a soldier, you always wore a uniform. If you were a businessman, you wore a suit and tie. I you were a housewife, you dressed up and put on makeup. If you were a priest or a nun, you always wore your religious clothes. If you were a scout, you wore a uniform. Since the '60s, people tend to dress for comfort. Even in a corporate environment, people tend to engage in what is termed "business casual." People of the '60s would have found those living 50+ years in the future to be lacking standards in their dress.

Why do they have to wear shorts in winter? Seems ridiculous to me.

Man that dude sticking his hot ass out with his cute shorty shorts are on is really cool.Very simply, gay people like shorts, are a tad exhibitionist, and shorts suggest athletics and manhood and gay cuteness all rolled into one.If I were a scout, I would wear shorts all the time. It is such a terrific turn-on.
