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.

The Scouts Canada uniform represents a history of involvement, of association with a set of principals, of helping others, and of fun, adventure, activity, and learning by doing.  Your uniform identifies you as a member of the world's largest youth 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.

For uniform, our Troop wears the formal uniform for one meeting every month.  For the remaining meetings, youth may wear their neckerchief and a Scouting T-Shirt (either the green "Tech" T-Shirt or one of our own Troop shirts).  For other activities, the appropriate uniform or activity wear is specified as required.
