Scout uniform can be bought from two main sources: Moor House, and Scout Shops direct. There are also one or two smaller shops around the region.
Moor House – The Scout Shop at Moor House is operated by Durham Scout County, who are able to reinvest the profits back into Scouting in Durham. They normally carry a good stock of uniform and you can try it out to make sure it fits (Scout uniform sizes can sometimes be a little ‘off’). They are only open at certain times, so please check here to find the most up to date information. The shop itself is situated in the wooden building in the car park.
Scout Shops – Scout Shops are a wholly owned subsidiary of The Scout Association and 100% of their profits are returned to Scouting at a national level. They have a huge range of outdoor clothing and equipment and any member of the public can order from them directly. Their website can be found here.
Beavers – A bright blue Beaver uniform jumper and a pair of comfy blue trousers (that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty!). There is a Beaver polo shirt and other items available but these are entirely optional. The group supplies your neckerchief, badges and woggle directly.
Cubs – A green Cub uniform jumper and a pair of comfy blue trousers (that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty!). There is a Cub polo shirt and other items available but these are entirely optional. The group supplies your neckerchief, badges and woggle directly.
Scouts – A green Scout uniform shirt should be worn with a pair of blue, preferably activity (combat) style trousers. Scout shops sell uniform activity trousers, but alternatives are available from many retailers, they do not have to be Scout Association brand trousers. Scouts should also wear a Scout Belt. The group supplies your neckerchief, badges and woggle directly.
If you have any more questions please speak to one of the leaders.
