Wearing the uniform with pride

This page brings together everything about the Scout uniform and where badges go. Whether you’re sewing on your child’s first badges or checking your own adult uniform, you’ll find clear guidance here.

Start with these pages

• Youth uniform guide — what youth members wear, section by section.
• Badge placement and layout — which badge families go on each sleeve and area of the shirt.
• Special event badges — Jamboree, Cuboree, JOTA-JOTI and other commemorative badges.
• Adult uniform badge placement — for Leaders, Rovers in adult roles and other adult members.

A few helpful truths before you begin

• The official national uniform standards are the source of truth — our pages summarise them in plain language.
• Uniforms can be purchased through scoutshop.com.au, the official national Scout shop.
• Nobody expects perfection. A slightly crooked badge worn proudly beats a perfect one still in the packet!
