Our Group has 2 different uniforms for different occasions
Group Uniform
The Group Uniform is the uniform that is worn most of the time on weeknights, weekend activities, water activities, and fundraisers. It is unique to our Group and represents our Group's identity. The uniform is very casual and can be worn with most other clothing. It is an alternative to wearing the Formal Uniform all the time. However, when wearing it, Scouts still need to look smart and presentable. When joining Howick Sea Scouts, you will be given a uniform order form. The Group Uniform consists of:
*The Group Activity Shirt & Scarf is required when joining Howick Sea Scouts
