Wearing a uniform is comfy and practical. It means no one feels uncomfortable or left out and helps everyone feel part of the group. Our uniform consists of a sweatshirt that you can sew badges on and a coloured scarf to represent your local group. There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, trousers or shorts.
Scouts uniform
A uniform can either be bought from our online shop – Scout Store – or from a local supplier such as Broadbridges in Haywards Heath. If you’re not sure where to start, leaders can give you more information about what to buy and where to buy it. They may even know if someone is selling a uniform second hand. There are grants available to help you buy a uniform, ask your leader for more details.
Costs
Each group charges a fee (called subscriptions or subs) to cover the costs of running regular meetings – which covers venue hire, insurances and materials for activities. There are sometimes extra charges for special activities, camps and events. We try to keep our subs as low as possible so that anyone can come to Scouts. If you need help paying subs, please speak to your leader.
Make your shopping count: invest in your community. By purchasing at Scout Store, you directly give back to your local groups and change lives.
