NOTE: The new uniform is primarily for new members as they enter the program, or for when uniforms need to be replaced.  Current troop members are welcome to continue to wear the older style uniform until they leave the Troop program, or until they outgrow their uniform.

Scouts Canada is a uniformed organization.

Rooted in more than 100 years of tradition, the iconic Scouting uniform is getting an exciting new makeover! As part of a comprehensive national Action Plan for Canadian Scouting, Scouts Canada recently announced its partnership with the Joe Fresh® brand to design a stylish and dynamic clothing line that reflects the organization’s spirit and energy. The contemporary uniforms were revealed in March 2011 during a celebratory event held in Toronto, Ontario - and were adopted for use in September 2011.

Scouting uses its uniform to promote itself to the community as a world-wide movement, to provide a focus of pride and belonging around which its members can rally, and to give each member an opportunity to make a personal expression of commitment to Scouting's principles.  It also serves as practical dress members can wear with pride at meetings, while traveling, in the field, and in the community.
