Scout Uniform

Parents need to purchase a scout shirt and scout activity trousers by the time their child is ready to be invested – usually by the end of their first term. We recommend that you purchase a shirt with lots of growing room as this saves having to buy a bigger one later on and transferring all of the badges across! A scouts ‘teal’ polo shirt can also be worn in the summer instead of the long sleeved shirt. Those moving on from 1st Cubs will continue to wear the same necker. We will provide a necker for those new to the group. Scout uniform can be bought from the following places:
