A valuable method of Scouting:

The Scout Uniform

Why do we wear the uniform?

Six purposes of the Uniform

1. A part of our Scouting heritage

Duty to God Loyalty to Country

Helpfulness for others

2. Demonstrates a neat appearance

3. Encourages positive behavior

“Scouting is an honor and there is a code of conduct you expect from a Scout when he is

wearing the uniform.”

- Scouting Magazine, 1998

4. Allows for shared identity

“A full uniform for Scouting makes us all look like a part of a team and it creates a good first impression

when we’re out in public.”

- Scouting Magazine, 1998

5. Displays personal achievement and history

6. Promotes Equality

“The uniform makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences of class and country.”

- Lord Robert-Baden Powell(1857-1941)
