Uniform

The core uniform is a dark blue shirt with the relevant youth section colour (see below) across the sleeves, yoke and collar; a blue or moss-green belt and a scarf and woggle.

Scouts may wear neat attire of their choice below the waist, although some groups or Branches may specify a style to be worn by their Members.

Shirt design

The shirt is a dark blue shirt with a collar, yoke and sleeve in the following colours depending on the section of the Youth Member:

Tan for Joey Scouts (aged 6 – 7 ½)
Yellow for Cub Scouts (aged 7 ½ - 10 ½)
Green for Scouts (aged 10 ½ - 14 ½)
Maroon for Venturer Scouts (aged 14 ½ - 17)
Red for Rovers (aged 17 - 26)

These colours are the official ‘colours’ for each youth section of Scouts Australia and appear on badges, publications and clothing for that section.The colour for the Leaders' shirt is dark blue.

 

Styles and Fabric

There are two fabrics and styles available for Scouts to choose from. The shirts are available in a good quality woven fabric button-up shirt style or as quality knitted cotton polo shirts.

With the exception of Joey Scouts, who only wear the polo style shirts, either style can be worn and Scouts can choose the one they like best.

Badge placement

Badges will still be worn on the new uniforms, however, the number of badges worn on the front of the shirt has been minimised. Click on the relevant section below for full illustration of badge placement.

Timeframe

The new uniform will be phased in over a five-year period from 2004. Scouts can just change over when the time comes for a new uniform, if they don’t want to change immediately.
