Our Group's Uniform Policy

General

• By not mandating any uniform requirements specific to our Group, we fully support one of the major objectives of the national uniform policy which was to reduce the cost of the uniform. Most of our youth members can now be uniformed for under $40.
• New members who join our Group after July 2004 will wear the new uniform. Existing Group members who have the old uniform may continue to wear it until the five year transition period ends in June 2009 or until you grow out of it, which ever comes first.
• It is common to see our Group members out of uniform during some of our adventurous Scouting activities because our Group recognises that some of our activities risk damage to the uniform.

Hat

• All our Group members must wear a hat for sun protection during any daytime outdoor activity.
• A hat is not required for indoor or night time activities.
• You may wear any hat that you have. Snowgum sells a popular peaked baseball style cap with a Scout logo and this is the recommended standard for our Group.

Shirt

• All our Group members will wear the standard national uniform shirt.
• The polo style shirt is the recommended standard for our youth members.
• The button-up style shirt is the recommended standard for our adult members.

Pants

• You may wear any appropriate pants that you have.
• Blue denim looks very smart with the new uniform shirts and this is the recommended standard for our Group.
• Examples of suitable pants include blue denim jeans or shorts, Bangor school uniform pants, track pants and the popular multi-pocketed cargo pants. Suitable colours include black, brown, grey, kaki, sage, dark green and dark blue. Bright coloured and multi-coloured pants would be inappropriate.

Belt

• The navy woven belt is an optional part of the uniform.

Shoes & Socks

• You may wear any enclosed shoes that provide appropriate foot protection.
• You may wear any appropriate socks that you have.
