Good evening,

He could, of course, be wearing a Boy Scout uniform.  The first group was set up in the USA in 1908 and the uniform was very similar to the one being worn in the photo.

Sorry greensleeves but the boy scouts were set up by Baden Powell in the UK in 1908 on Brownsea Island, Dorset. The boy scout movement of America started in 1910. :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
