Wearing a uniform is comfy and practical. It means no one feels uncomfortable or left out and helps everyone feel part of the Group.
Our uniform consists of a sweatshirt or shirt that you can sew badges on and a red and white necker which identifies you as belonging to 1st Clayton-le-Moors. There are lots of other optional accessories you can wear such as hats, hoodies, trousers or shorts, but the only essential item for you to purchase is the sweatshirt (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs) or shirt (Scouts, Explorers, Adults).
Uniform can be bought from the online Scout Shop. If you’re not sure where to start, our volunteers can give you more information about what and where to buy. They may even know if someone is selling a uniform second hand. There are grants available to help you buy a uniform, ask your team lead for more details.
The uniform is where we sew the many badges that you will earn throughout your time in Scouting. These badges show how long you’ve participated in Scouting, which activities you are proficient at, and the challenge awards that you have achieved, among other things. Take a look at the Badge Diagrams for the positions that these should be sewed on.
If you’d like to volunteer with us, but you aren’t sure if you want to commit, then don’t worry. We offer a 4-Week Challenge for new volunteers, with no obligation beyond that.
Week 1 – Come and see us at whichever section you think you’d be interested in. Observe, join in if you like, have a chat with the other volunteers and young people.
Week 2 – Come again, armed with the knowledge that you’ll be lending a hand and joining in with the activities. This is going to be the most fun you’ve had in a long time!!
Week 3 – If you’re up for it, we’ll give you a task to plan and carry out. This might be to run a game or simple activity, or anything else that you’re comfortable with giving a go. This could well be the scariest thing you’ll ever do, but could also be the most rewarding.
Week 4 – Crunch time! If you’re still interested, then we’ll have a chat about the past few weeks and how you feel about where you want to be. Congratulations! You just volunteered!!
