Uniform & Badges

What we wear, and where to place all those badges!

Our identity

Beavers, Cubs and Scouts wear uniform on which to display their badges and awards. All sections wear a scarf, known as a necker, secured around the neck with a woggle. Our groups necker colour is red. Neckers and woggles are awarded by the group when your child is invested.

The group provides all uniform badges. Membership award, district, area, and Wales badges are awarded when your child is invested as a Beaver, Cub or Scout. Activity, staged activity, challenge and joining in badges are awarded as your child earns them.

Open the section labels to find out more about what Beavers, Cubs and Scouts wear for uniform, and where badges are placed.

We recommend buying uniform in a larger size than your child needs when they start a section – it should hopefully still fit when they move up to the next section!
