Scouting is a uniformed organisation. All Members are required to wear uniform for Group Meetings, when arriving and departing from events and for parades. Members should take pride in their uniform and do their best to look after the uniform and to look smart. Members are not expected to wear a uniform until they have been ‘invested’ (officially joined the Scout Association) which normally happens a few weeks after they initially join.
Beaver uniform
- Once settled in the Group, parents/carers should provide the following uniform:
- Turquoise sweatshirt (see ‘Where to Buy’ below)
- Turquoise Polo shirt (optional)
- Dark grey or black trousers, skirt or shorts (school style)
- Black shoes (not trainers)
- Beavers may also wear an optional turquoise blue cap but this is not a requirement
- During your beaver’s formal investiture (usually several weeks after joining – will be advised) the Beaver Leaders will provide the following uniform items:
- Neckerchief
- Woggle
- Scout membership award badge, group name tape, district and county badges
