-
- UK.
-
- Beavers:
- Grey coloured tracksuit + Group Scarf
-
- Cubs:
- Grey trousors or shorts, green sweatshirt or jersey, group scarf the woggal
- is in colour of the cub scouts six.
-
- Scouts:
- The type of trousors are to be decided by the troop PLC (Patrol Leaders
- Council). Green Shirt, Optional Green Sweatshirt and group scarf.
-
- Venture Scouts:
- Male
- Scout Association Mushroom coloured trousors, beige shirt, either group
- scarf or brown coloured tie.
- Female
- Scout Association Mushroom coloured trousors or skirt, beige blouse, either
- group scarf or brown coloured tie.
-
- Adults:
- Same as Venture Scouts except:
- Leaders have the option of wearing a green tie instead of brown. Those
- qulified may wear a Gilwell scarf as long as they are not with their group.
-
- >Optional items are: brown BP hat or blue girl scout hat, scout belt,
- >satchel (wolves), pocket knife or hunting knife and Recta compass.
-
- HeadWear be it Bush hats, berets, cub caps are no longer uniform. Knifes
- MAY NOT be worn with uniform. The scout belt is part of the scout, venture
- scout and leader uniform.
- A personal note about uniform trousors, I find it odd that Venture Scouts
- and leaders must wear uniform trousors, but scouts do not. The leg of the
- trousors has the same diameter at the thigh as it does at the ankle, the
- result being that most female members prefer to wear uniform skirts.
- I think the unifrom for the beaver, cub and scout section may have been slightly
- amended to accomondate girl scouts, but unfortunatly I don't know.
