Uniform and Badges
Our members wear a uniform to feel a sense of belonging and as a great way to show off their achievements
Each section has their own uniform. There are many different items available as part of the uniform but as a group we only ask that members wear the appropriate jumper (Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs) or shirt (Scouts and Young Leaders) for their section. All other items are optional and not expected, including trousers, polo tops, hats, etc. Each member will receive a group necker at investment, with the cost of this and badges incorporated into your monthly subscriptions.
Uniform is purchased by parents and carers. We recommend the following places to purchase uniform:
