What about the uniform?

Uniform is not expected for the first couple of weeks while the new member settles in and learns what being a Sea Scout is all about.

Usually, after three weeks attendance, the Scout leader will discuss with you when the new Scout is to be formally admitted to the section (Invested). A Sea Scout uniform is required for this investiture to take place.

The Group sometimes has some second-hand uniform items, but usually a new uniform is required to be purchased from Basingstoke Scouting Supplies. These requirements will be discussed with you.

Uniform requirements: A Sea Scout jumper, Scout activity trousers, Scout belt, a Sea Scout cap. The Group provides the Sea Scout tally band for the cap, the Group necker and all badges on investiture. The Group also provides the Sea Scout with their Scout Record book and Sea Scout Matrix file.
