What Scouts Wear

What We Wear?

Once your child has been with us for a few weeks, he or she will need a uniform; uniform should be worn to every scout meeting.

New members should wear comfy clothes for their first few meetings, suitable for sporty games.

What to buy?

Trousers

Dark blue or black activity trousers are needed and should be worn to all meetings unless specified otherwise. These can either be the official scout trousers or you can buy unbranded ones from outdoors stores. Female leg wear must be able to tuck their blouse/shirt into and still look smart) Black or dark grey school trousers are also acceptable.

Top half

Official Scouts wear the official teal green shirt/blouse

Footwear

Clean black school shoes or clean hiking shoes/boots

Activity Gear

Scouts arrive in full uniform and start the evening in a smart and tidy fashion, after flag break and inspection, they will change into their activity gear. This is normally old clothes and footwear that doesn’t matter if they get it muddy or damaged.

We supply

Neckerchief and Woggle

Every invested member must wear a neckerchief and woggle to every meeting. We provide the first one but if you need a new one or lose it, then it will be down to you to pay for the replacements.



Where to buy?

Uniform items can be bought from the below shops and websites. Please note that we strongly recommend you go somewhere you can try the Uniform on as the sizes do seem quite variable.
