Scouting is a uniformed organisation. When you join, you need to buy the uniform from the Scout Shop before you are invested (normally 4 weeks after joining).
The nearest uniform shop is at Kershaws Garden centre just outside Brighouse. You can also order uniforms online at http://www.scoutshops.com/
Everyone in the 65th has a Orange neckerchief and at least the following two badges (once invested): the World Membership Badge (purple circle), the West Yorkshire and the Bradford South District Badge (a black rectangle on the right sleeve). Also, everyone should have the group name tag on the right shoulder. You will be presented with these items by the leader when you are invested.
If you have just moved up from Beavers to Cubs, or from Cubs to Scouts, then you should wear your old uniform until you are invested. Please transfer your staged badges, chief scout award and you joining in (years) badges to your new uniform and continuing to use your old neckerchief.
Replacements for lost neckers are available for £3.00 and 50p for a plastic woggle.
Optional items are marked as such below and you do not need to buy them. If you do not buy the optional dark blue activity trousers, then please come along in dark trousers suitable for outdoor activities. You may want to get a second-hand uniform from someone who is moving up into the next section – ask the leaders if any has been donated.
All items of uniform, including scarves and anything else that your child is likely to take off, must be clearly named.
