Uniform
Wearing uniform helps young people feel part of the team and shows pride in being a member of 3rd Farnworth Scout Group. Uniform should be worn to weekly meetings, parades and most events unless leaders advise otherwise.
What to Wear
Each section has its own coloured sweatshirt or shirt. Please see the guidance below.
- Squirrels: Red sweatshirt
- Beavers: Turquoise sweatshirt
- Cubs: Dark green sweatshirt
- Scouts: Teal green shirt or blouse
Young people should also wear:
- Group necker (provided by the Group)
- Dark trousers, skirt or shorts
- Sensible footwear
Please ensure all items of uniform are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
