A bunch of Guiders are currently trying to figure out the equivalent for
Scouters... purple y-fronts? teal long shorts? mushroom flares?

I can't think of a particular name for them, but they're usually to be
found walking around Gilwell reunion in full uniform (pre-1967, of

disapprovingly at everyone else.

Or sitting in District Exec meetings, of course...
