Uniform

Uniform is worn by every person who has been invested into the Scouting Movement, so it is a very important part of Scouting. Below is some information about what uniform is needed in each section, and where it is available to buy. There are also details of where the badges go on the uniform. In addition to this, there is information about 1st Fenstanton and Hilton branded items such as polo shirts and hoodies that can be ordered.

Until investiture into the Group a new member should wear their school uniform. The Group supplies the Group scarf (necker), woggle and initial set of badges at the point of investiture. The Group operates a good quality, second hand “stall” of uniform to raise funds. We expect everyone to wear their uniform properly with badges sewn on in the right place - that includes the uniform being washed and ironed as well as the necker being neatly rolled or folded. The uniform must be worn weekly for Section meetings, all travel to and from camps and for all other Section activities unless otherwise stated in event information. If a replacement (because of loss or damage) of any badge / necker / woggle is required you will have to pay the cost price rounded up to the nearest full pound (this allows for postage etc where required), which should be paid via BACs into the Group account after discussion with the relevant section leader.
