Uniform

As we are based along side the Sea Scout Group we follow the same Uniform guidlines of Sea Scouts.

This means that we have full uniform on the 1st Meeting of the month and reshows if standards are not met

The uniform list is as follows:

Sea Scout cap and Explorer tally band.
Blue Sea Scout shirt
Navy & White Neptune scarf.
Black, Dark Grey or Navy Blue trousers / Skirt.
Black socks
Black shoes.

We also allow for ‘Dress Down’ uniform to be worn when full uniform is not required.
This can be purchased from our Official Merchandise store

The Unit leaders will be able to advise you on where to purchase your Explorer uniform

 

Merchandise

We have started our own line of branded merchandise to help with fundraising.

Most of the range is print to order and each order helps the unit raise money to help fund more exiting activities
