WW I? Civilian? What is the insignia on his right breast and what is the significance of the white (?) ribbon on his left shoulder?

A Boy Scout uniform? Possibly a fleur de lis badge on the left pocket?

I agree, there is also a Scoutmaster type badge on side of his hat.
White ribbons could denote rank of District Commissioner.

When I was a Boy Scout, many years ago, the Scout Master was always referred to as the "Skipper"
