Well, here's a brief description of the dutch uniforms.

The youngest scouts are 'beavers', aged 5-7.
They wear a red sweatshirt, with a blue picture of 'Lange Doener',
the main character in their play. they wear a blue baseball cap, blue
trousers.

Their leaders the same, without the cap.
Optionally, there is a red shirt available, for the summer.

The next group are the 'welpen' (boys) and 'kabouters' (girls). (Most
groups mixed them up.)
They wear a heavy-duty cotton blouse, color green, brown trousers (although
most wear jeans), and a cap in the form of half the earth, green, with
yellow 'meridians' (welpen) or a wollen cap (kabouters)

Leaders idem ditto.

Next group is the scouts, aged 12-15
Waterscouts have blue uniforms, Landscouts kaki brown, girls sometimes an
ugly color red/orange.

Older groups use the same uniforms, but without a cap.

Each group has it's own color tie, but we alse use the scottish tartans for
that. My group uses the McDonald tartan. 

(All recommands from other dutch scouts welcome, I may have forgotten
something.)
