Scouts Australia Uniform:

Why a uniform ?

Throughout its history the Scouting movement has been clearly identified by its uniform. Over the years much good will has been received by the Scout Movement and the uniform serves as a focus for the support of the community.

Furthermore, the public accepts the Scout uniform as the symbol of an organisation with high ideals and a certain self- discipline. Therefore, once the uniform is worn personal responsibility must be taken to maintain the strong reputation that the Scouting Movement has in the community and throughout the world.

Nevertheless, there are certain circumstances where wearing of the uniform is inappropriate . Many activities will damage the uniform so it is quite common for members to be seen out of uniform during many activities.

Official uniforms can be obtained from the following outlets:

Snowgum.com.au online

Phil's Trophies - Newcastle: (02) 4943-0631

Port Kembla Scout Shop mail-order: (02) 4274-1193

A new scout & cub uniform was introduced in July 2004.
The old style of uniform is still current for FIVE years from July 2004 through to 2009, so there is no need to purchase a new style uniform until you grow out of your old one. Personally I think the old one looks better, but then it's freedom of choice !

Here's some great knotting resources for all of those hard to tie knots !

"Every Scout ought to be able to tie a knot. To tie a knot seems a simple thing, and yet there are right and wrong ways of doing it, and Scouts ought to know the right way.  Very often it happens that lives depend on a knot being properly tied."   --  Baden- Powell .
