Hat Seen During the Chartres Pilgrimage
Some kind of pilgrim's hat with a cross at the front
I could not identify to which organisation the priest belongs to?
What kind of cross it is?
The hat is called "Campaign Hat" or "Quatre Bosses" in Frensh.
It is the scouting cross of UIGSE-FSE.
Thanks very much to my esteemed readers for their very helpful answers.
Please see the comments.
