Every young person must wear uniform and the group necktie when attending the weekly session, camp or any other scouting event unless advised otherwise. Uniform is a compulsory aspect of scouting and hence we are implementing a three week period for the child to be in uniform before we issue reminders and eventually to expulsion from the group. Should you have exceptional circumstances, please get in touch to arrange an exclusion from this requirement.
Beavers
Beaver Scouts wear a turquoise sweatshirt with a necktie and woggle or one of another colour which identifies their Lodge or team.
Cubs
Cubs wear a dark green sweatshirt with a necktie and a woggle in the colour of their Six.
Scouts
Scouts wear a teal green shirt or blouse, navy blue activity trousers or skirt, a group scarf with a woggle, and a Scout belt.
Explorer
Explorer Scouts wear a grey shirt or blouse with a Unit necktie (or a Group one if there is a partnership agreement), and navy blue activity trousers or skirt with a Scout belt. A long length shirt is also available for females.
Necktie
The group necktie is royal blue with a white taped edge. We can provide the necktie for £5.
