Scouts Canada is a uniformed organization. The uniform helps build a feeling of belonging, pride and self-discipline.
A full and complete Scout uniform is required for all activities unless indicated otherwise. If your Scout is wearing the old tan uniform, at each formal event the full uniform is worn, including the sash. For less formal activities (such as parts of regular meetings), the sash is not required.
For some activities, only the necker is worn (if your Scout has a Tech T-Shirt, he/she should wear that as well). Your leaders will let you know when you can leave uniform pieces behind.
Scouts should always wear footwear that is appropriate for the activity.
The Scout Uniform is now available at the Fredericton Scout Shop or online at www.scoutshop.ca.
New parents, please note that 1st New Maryland provides the Group Neckerchief, the Neckerchief Slide, and all crests for your Scout's uniform. The neckerchief is free, but if it needs to be replaced, we will have to charge a $5 fee, to partially cover our costs.
Your Scout will also need the Scout Handbook, and should bring it to every Scout Meeting unless advised otherwise by Akela or the other leaders.
