What do Explorers wear?
Once they’ve had time to settle in to the group, Explorers get their own set of uniform to wear during meetings and on trips away. Usually, this consists of a beige shirt or blouse with their badges sewn on, which they pair with their Unit scarf – if they’re an independent Unit – or Group scarf, if their Unit is merged with a Scout Troop. This will vary slightly if your Explorer Unit is part of the Air Scouts or Sea Scouts. See below for uniform diagrams.
Alongside their shirts, Explorers might wear the accompanying blue uniform trousers or skirt, or they might save their uniform bottoms to wear for special occasions like awards ceremonies and public events – choosing to wear something more casual with their shirt during the week. Optional accessories such as hats, hoodies, are also available.
Where can I buy my uniform?
Uniform can be purchased from The Scout Associations’ Scout Store.
If you’re stuck, ask adult volunteers to tell you more about what to buy. If, cost is an issue they will also be more than happy to help.
The most important thing when you first arrive is wearing something that you feel natural and comfortable in.
