You are first.  Lets see who else can get it.  Several have chewed on the
Baden-Powell idea.

The Scout hat originally got its initials "B.P." from the words "Boss of
the
Plains", the hat manufactured by Stetson. It was worn by the members of the
South African Constabulary (raised and commanded by B.-P. during the South
African War) as being both distinctive and practical. It shaded the face
from sun, protected it from heavy rain, shaded the eyes when scouting at a
distance, was useful for watering horses, for fanning a fire, for carrying
water in emergencies, and in many other directions. It suited all climates
and is still worn by the members of the Royal Canadian North-West Mounted
Police.

Staff - as a hold over from granddads WB, I truly miss the final morning
site of red jac-shirts and BP hats.

Enough strolling down memory lane.

The Staff Admin Guide, page 24 has a section on Uniforms for Staff.  Item 4
says "Participants and staff will wear the same hat."

Traditions die hard.......

So, trivia time.  Who knows why it is called a BP hat?  First correct
answer gets a prize!
