Uniform
Scouts is a uniformed organisation, and uniform is a key part of our identity. We are keen to make sure that nobody is excluded for financial reasons so if you need help in getting hold of uniform just let any leader know.
You don’t need your full uniform on for all activities (its often not needed for outside activities) but we still want everyone to wear something that identifies them as a member of Cookham Scouts. New joiners get given a Cookham Scout Group T shirt. When you have outgrown it then replacements are available to buy, as are our warm sweatshirts. We also produce T shirts and / or hoodies to go with many of our Camps.
Neckerchiefs, Woggles, Cookham Scouts T shirts and Cookham Scouts Sweatshirts are available via our Webshop (‘Shop’ on the top menu on this page). Select and pay for goods online and take the proof of purchase email along to the next section meeting to collect your goods.
For what uniform is needed, if you get it provided by us or need to buy it, and where you can get it from, take a look at our Section uniform information below:

Scouts
We wear a scout shirt and a Cookham neckerchief with a leather Scout woggle, plus plain, dark trousers, shorts or leggings (no jeans, jeggings or jeans shorts). Most evenings part of our programme takes place outside in our garden so take a warm top / waterproof.
Some of the Activity Badges earned in Cubs can transfer across to the Scout shirt: the highest level of the Staged Activity Badges (the blue ones with a purple border) like the Nights Away, Emergency Aid and Swimming badges.
