Uniforms
Scouting is a uniformed organisation, and each section has its own identifiable uniform which should be worn. However, we are an inclusive organisation, and try to ensure that no one is excluded. Uniform can be quite expensive, but your leaders are able to access grants which can pay up to 50% of the cost of new uniforms. Please ask your leader for information - the grants are there to be used!
Our current uniform is practical and smart. The information below gives details of what uniform is required and where you can buy it from.
There are also links on the left of this page which will show you where badges go on the uniforms.
If you have any questions about uniform, please speak to your leader.
