Scouts Uniform
Embedded Files
Our uniform helps identify our organization. Scouts are expected to wear their uniform to each weekly meeting, at community service events, and when adventuring outdoors.
Scout Shirt
Scout Shirt
Each Scout must purchase a green Scout Shirt and will undergo an investiture where they will be provided with a Necker, Woggle, Council Crest, and Group Crest supplied by the Group.
The Group has sample sizes available to try on and also arranges for group purchases to reduce shipping costs. Please contact your Scouter for assistance.
Badge placement is outlined in the graphic on this page. Note that not all of the badges in the graphic are required for (or available to) everyone.
Necker
Necker
A Necker is worn by Scouts around the world. In addition to serving as a means to identify groups of Scouts, the Necker traditionally helped to prevent sun burns, and served as a triangular bandage for First Aid.
Today the Necker remains one of the most recognizable symbols of Scouting and as such is worn at all our events. Our Group's Necker is a light blue colour.
In cases where it is not practical to wear the rest of our uniform we almost always wear our Neckers.
Woggle
Woggle
Woggles keep the Necker tied and are also used to convey information about the Scout and Scouter.
Certain woggles are worn based on progressive responsibility, qualifications, and roles within the troop.
In other cases unique, often hand made, woggles are worn. At a camp for example, Scouts might make paracord woggles to identify a patrol team formed just for that camp. Hand made woggles are also a suitable replacement for a misplaced woggle.
Scout Staff (Walking Stick)
Scout Staff (Walking Stick)
The Scout Staff or walking stick is predominantly used as a uniform accessory. The patrol leader may have a slightly longer staff for displaying the Patrols Pennant. Scout staves are used for certain ceremonies including the cub scout moving up ceremony where the Troop receives their new members through an arch pioneered out of staves.
The Scout staff can be used in several camp craft "pioneering" skills. The example shown being the construction of a washing station.
