he Scouts Canada uniform represents a history of involvement, of association with a set of principals, of helping others, and of fun, adventure, activity, and learning by doing. Your uniform identifies you as a member of the world’s largest youth organization.
Rooted in more than 100 years of tradition, the iconic Scouting uniform has undergone an exciting new makeover! As part of a comprehensive national Action Plan for Canadian Scouting, Scouts Canada announced a new stylish and dynamic clothing line that reflects the organization spirit and energy. The contemporary uniforms were revealed in March 2011 during a celebratory event held in Toronto, Ontario – and were adopted for use in September 2011.
