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.
