Lucian J. Henderson attended a jamboree in the early 1930s and, by the looks of it, he was not a happy camper.

Henderson is the first boy on the front row.

Here, he is the third boy on the back row. The building behind the boys appears to be a school.

The details of the troop’s uniforms are consistent with those worn by the Boy Scouts of American in the late 1920s and early 1930s:

• broad-brimmed, high-crowned felt campaign hats with “montana peak” indentations;
• long-sleeved shirts with two buttoned breast pockets and epaulets;
• neckerchiefs worn knotted or with woggles; and
• knickers tucked into high socks (full-length trousers became common in the 1940s)

Lucian Henderson up close. Notice the penknife hanging from his belt and the flashlight clipped to the belt of the boy behind him and the knife on the boy to his side.
