Scouting is a uniformed organisation. All young people and leaders, irrespective of their sections are expected to wear full uniform for meetings, parades and arrival/departure from events. Occasionally uniform may not be appropriate and if this is the case you will be informed in advance. As a minimum requirement, a sweater and neckerchief (once invested) will be required at all times.
The uniform consists of:
- Section sweatshirt (this is what the badges are sewn on to).
- Our distinctive green and red neckerchief (also known as a scarf or necker); which is presented during investiture.
- A woggle; which is presented during investiture.
We also sell our own 27th High Wycombe Scout group T-shirts, which may be worn for camps and evening meetings.
Our neckerchief – which way does it go?
We are often asked this question. As the 27th High Wycombe Scout group has a very distinctive scarf, with the colours representing the naval navigation system ‘port’ and ‘starboard’. The neckerchief is worn with the red on the left and the green on the right.
