Purpose of Scout uniform

10.1.1.1 Policy statement 
Scouts is a uniformed youth organisation. The purpose of uniform is to help members to: 

  1. feel they belong in Scouts - locally, nationally, and internationally
  2. be seen, recognised and trusted in their communities    
  3. feel comfortable, welcome and proud while taking part in activities and events.

Therefore, uniform needs to be inclusive, flexible, practical and affordable. Every reasonable effort should be made so that uniform is not a barrier to participation.  

10.1.1.2 Entitlement to wear uniform 
All members are entitled to wear the official uniform described in this chapter. See also POR 3.1.1.7.
