Explorer Scout Uniform

All the info you need from badge placement to your items of uniform

As an Explorer you get your own set of uniform to wear during meetings and on trips away. Usually, this consists of a beige shirt or blouse with your badges sewn on, which you will pair with your Unit scarf, Scout Trousers and black shoes. 

But with all of this and the various different badges Explorers will be given and earn it can appear complicated.

To help we have made a handy guide for Explorers, guardians or whoever is “lucky” enough to own that sewing kit. Click the link below to find out all you need about Explorer Scout uniforms, badges and more ! 

Scouts & Employability

How to tell others about the skills you’ve learned through Scouts, Explorers, and Network.

Did anyone ever tell you that Scouts is all about skills for life? 

You’ve taken a deep breath and spoken up; thought on your feet and seen the big picture; ignored the butterflies, gone for it, and tried, tried again. You’ve got the skills.

But, how do you tell the employers, apprenticeships, colleges or universities that you’ve got what they’re looking for?

You might already know lots about writing CVs, filling in application forms, dealing with UCAS and preparing for interviews, but we’ve put together some examples of how you can demonstrate your Scouts experience throughout your application, CV and interview.
