Uniform

No rush. Young people don't need uniform until they've spent a few weeks with us — we want them to enjoy Scouting first, and we know uniform isn't cheap.

Uniform identifies the movement and gives a sense of belonging. It's practical clothing for the activities we do, and a visible sign of the Scout Promise and Law.
