Uniforms
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 9:05 pmAs part of Scouts Canada's uniform revitalization we have new program badges, woggles, and insignia designs and colours. Scouts Canada has reduced the sizes of the badges, moved from an embroidered to woven production (which reduces the thickness), selected unique colours for each Section, and updated the artwork.
NOTE: Cubs may wear their current uniforms (i.e. the old tan shirts and sashes) until they grow out of them.
BADGES: Most importantly, members will now wear their achievements on their sleeve, rather than on a sash. We are currently in a period of transition as the new badges are phased into the system and there will be a mix-match of badge designs in the short term. This doesn't matter and parents will not need to replace old badges with new style badges.
Attaching the badges to the sleeves: There are three badge application options.
1. The first is the same as the current method, which is to sew badges on.
2. The second is to iron them on. Note that iron-on badges are permanent (i.e., they cannot be removed).
3. The third option is to use the adhesive Badge Magic™. It is an adhesive sheet that makes badge application easy — without sewing or ironing.
Here’s how it works:
(i) Badges are adhered to a Badge Magic™ sheet and pressure applied;
(ii) Badges are peeled off and then adhered directly to sleeves.
Badges adhered with Badge Magic™ are also removable.
“Badge Magic™ Badge Kits” are available in two formats:
(i) Precut for Cubs and Scouts; and
(ii) a “cut- to-fit” for all other Sections.
One sheet retails for $8.99 and is currently available at all Scout Shops or online at Scoutshop.ca. To learn more about Badge Magic™ visit http://www.badgemagic.com.
COST: "Knit Polo Cub Scouts, Long Sleeve - Grey" is $24.99 and is available at the Scout Shop. 8th Orleans will provide the neckers and woggles.
