Wearing a uniform is comfy and practical. It means no one feels uncomfortable or left out and helps everyone feel part of the group. Our uniform consists of a sweatshirt or shirt that you can sew badges on and a coloured scarf or ‘necker’ to represent your local group. There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, trousers or shorts.

Scouts uniform

A uniform can be bought from Scout Stores. If you’re not sure where to start, leaders can give you more information about what to buy. They may even know if someone is selling a uniform second hand.

Costs

We charge a fee (called subscriptions or subs) to cover the costs of running the group and our regular meetings which covers the meeting place, admin, insurances and materials for activities. There are sometimes extra charges for special activities, camps and events. We try to keep our subs as low as possible so that anyone can come to Scouts. For more information about subs, and if you need help paying them, please speak to your young persons leader.
