A scout uniform is one of the most important traditional symbols of Polish scouting. The specific arrangement of the elements gives us a variety of information about its owner. The goal of this article is to analyse a Polish scout uniform to show its functions. In this research we use a structural-functional theory used by Piotr Bogatyriew to analyse the folk costume. The article comments on different functions (past and present) of a scout uniform, as well as the structure of the functions and its transformation over the years.
