The new Scout uniforms were designed
They were designed for leadership.
The uniform of a Scout leader is a
sign to the troops that you're the
person they can trust to take
command. But when you start
gearing up for new adventures this
year, you'll appreciate the new,
official uniform as an important piece
of Scouting equipment as well.
It's more than a good-looking outfit.
It's a uniform that's rugged, practical
and versatile. The fabric is heavier to
hold up better in any kind of Scouting
activity, and the tighter weave is
better protection from the weather.
And you'll really appreciate the
soil-resistant, permanent-press
material. The new uniform is
designed to maintain the traditional
look of the existing scout uniform.
New uniforms come in a number of
variations. Depending on the season,
male leaders can pair up long- or
short sleeved shirts with trousers or
shorts that are designed with roomy
cargo pockets. Lady Scouters can
choose a dress, skirt, slacks or
shorts (with the same cargo pockets)
in olive drab, while Lady Cub Scout
leaders have their choice of similar
styles in navy blue. The blouse for
all women leaders is a pale yellow
that's soft and flattering, and
exclusively designed scarves with
the unmistakable signature of Oscar
de la Renta, complete the uniforms —
in style. Stockings are available as
part of the Leader uniforms, plus a
full range of caps and berets.
Visit your nearby Scout distributor
for all of your official Scout uniform
and equipment needs. You'll find a
new look to Scouting that has a lot of
merit. It's not just for looks. It's for
leadership.
