willysjeep Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 We just came across one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in the troop's Uniform Exchange. Somebody donated an old old pair of thick, stretch knit, yellow and red horizontal striped swim trunks with a BSA official tag inside. When on earth did the BSA make these things? Honestly, if they weren't so form fitting I might be tempted to get a pair for the polar bear swim at summer camp. Might be a good joke, sort of an incentive or gag to get more people in the water or something. But none the less they are very interesting. I have never even seen reference to them on line anywhere. Anybody know anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 1950's - early 60's I think. I saw them in an old BSA catalog a while back. They went the way of the official BSA shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I had a pair official BSA stretch knit red swim trunks with a scout emblem embroidered on the right leg about the size of a half dollar. this was in the late 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
