Informal Scout-branded clothing

10.3.1.1 Use of informal Scout-branded clothing

  1. While formal uniform has a key purpose outlined in POR 10.1, there are times when informal Scout-branded clothing may be worn, including:   
    • Branded section, Group, or event polo shirts, sweatshirts, or hoodies
    • Neckerchiefs, either standalone or with the informal Scout-branded clothing described above
  2. There are occasions when informal Scout-branded clothing may be more appropriate, depending on factors such as:
    • Safety
    • Activities
    • Weather
    • Formality of occasion
    • Age range
    • Inclusion for cultural, religious or accessibility reasons
    • Affordability, to avoid what we wear being a barrier to taking part in Scout activities.
  3. The decision on when formal uniform and when informal Scout-branded clothing can be worn should be made by the volunteer or staff member in charge of the meeting, activity or event.
