UK.

Beavers:
Grey coloured tracksuit + Group Scarf

Cubs:
Grey trousors or shorts, green sweatshirt or jersey, group scarf the woggal
is in colour of the cub scouts six.

Scouts:
The type of trousors are to be decided by the troop PLC (Patrol Leaders
Council). Green Shirt, Optional Green Sweatshirt and group scarf.

Venture Scouts:
Male
Scout Association Mushroom coloured trousors, beige shirt, either group
scarf or brown coloured tie.
Female
Scout Association Mushroom coloured trousors or skirt, beige blouse, either
group scarf or brown coloured tie.

Adults:
Same as Venture Scouts except:
Leaders have the option of wearing a green tie instead of brown. Those
qulified may wear a Gilwell scarf as long as they are not with their group.

>Optional items are: brown BP hat or blue girl scout hat, scout belt,
>satchel (wolves), pocket knife or hunting knife and Recta compass.

HeadWear be it Bush hats, berets, cub caps are no longer uniform. Knifes
MAY NOT be worn with uniform. The scout belt is part of the scout, venture
scout and leader uniform.
A personal note about uniform trousors, I find it odd that Venture Scouts
and leaders must wear uniform trousors, but scouts do not. The leg of the
trousors has the same diameter at the thigh as it does at the ankle, the
result being that most female members prefer to wear uniform skirts.
I think the unifrom for the beaver, cub and scout section may have been slightly
amended to accomondate girl scouts, but unfortunatly I don't know.
