Scouts wear a teal green smart shirt, a pair of navy blue activity trousers and their Group scarf. A Cub joining the Scout Section, who has gained his or her Silver Chief Scout Award, may wear that award on his or her uniform until he or she gains the Gold Chief Scout Award. He or she may also wear his or her Participation and Moving On awards.

Scout activities are about action and involvement and this means more than just camping. Hiking, rock climbing, gliding, sailing, pioneering, canoeing, parascending, abseiling, putting on shows and exhibitions, motor mechanics, electronics, photography - the list is endless! Scouts are also given the chance to learn skills in survival, cooking and first aid. There are often opportunities to go abroad.
