1 I dont think we should tuck our shirts in Apr 14, 2012 12:53 PM

2 The material of polo shirt style uniform is very heavy to wear on a warm day(or when doing strenuous activities) - I am always very conscious of anunpleasant BO smell that tends to stay with the top despite repeatedwashing.

Apr 13, 2012 7:26 PM

3 They need another button at the button Apr 12, 2012 4:29 PM

4 Shirts are good Apr 10, 2012 5:15 PM

5 The shirt needs two pockets on the front not just one. It also needssomething like shoulder epaulette straps to accomodate the wearing ofPioneer/Explorer/Adventurer level cords.

Apr 10, 2012 11:19 AM

6 Woven button up shirts wear better than polos and don't fade so quickly Apr 4, 2012 11:15 PM

7 The ladies leaders shirts could be a little longer as women generally wearthem over pants or skirts

Apr 4, 2012 7:27 PM

8 it didnt need changing in the first place Apr 4, 2012 5:59 PM

9 Having a collar on the shirt makes wearing the scarf difficult because itdoesn't sit properly. Lose the collar. I prefer the khaki colour.

Apr 4, 2012 1:12 PM

10 Pockets could be slightly larger to make placing a record book in them easier(Cubs)

12 As a Leader I would prefer two pockets so that I can fit more stuff in. Alsowith only one pocket I don't have anything to attach a cord to for the Scouts.They get their award scheme cords on the pocket sie of the shirt, but if theyearn a white cord (leadership course) then there is nothing to attach it to.

Mar 26, 2012 8:13 PM

16 The material is too hot and heavy for Australian summer and the fit forwomen is uncomfortable and unflattering. I do not see why the colours werechanged when the khaki was most definately a more historical and practicalcolour. The material back then was also lightweight and long-lasting, and bynot having many different variations of the uniform everyone also looked farmore consistent.

20 should be khaki Mar 21, 2012 5:59 PM

21 leaving the shirt out should be ok, if tshirt or singlet is worn underneath Mar 21, 2012 5:49 PM

22 nothing Mar 21, 2012 2:02 PM

23 The sleeves around the armpit are a little tight, and noticeable in summerheat with underarm sweat.

Mar 21, 2012 9:06 AM

24 Women's fit definitely needed, current is baggy over stomach yet no stretchin shoulders, lift arm and side slits mean stomach shows! - we are scoutleaders and need to move easily. Lightweight material needed for ourclimate. Why does the Leaders pocket not fit the green book or have a penholder, crazy!

Mar 21, 2012 6:37 AM

25 No pocket for Joey Scouts. Cub pockets not quite big enough to hold theirrecord bag.

Mar 20, 2012 9:33 PM

26 It would be good if most of the Venturers would tuck their shirts in as somany do not. The shirts are quite hot for Queensland, but the style itself isfine.

Mar 20, 2012 1:43 PM

27 Epaulets are missing. Mar 19, 2012 10:35 AM

28 Scout section needs a lapel or similar to support wearing of cords. Thecurrent use of the Scoutcraft badge does not do it justice

29 nothing Mar 18, 2012 8:13 PM

30 Shouls be two breast pockets either side. Other wise uniform is fine no needfor change.

Mar 17, 2012 9:01 PM

31 nothing Mar 17, 2012 1:31 PM

32 The breast pocket is too small. The sleeve length on youth member shirtsare also too small...not sufficient space to place/sew on badges.

Mar 17, 2012 10:38 AM

33 They are not a European Cut. They are an Asian cut. And the collar is thatof a Ladies blouse not a mans shirt. They would be better if they were acrew collar that would facilitate the wearing of a Scarf.

Mar 16, 2012 10:33 PM

34 The sleeves are to short considering the number and size of badges requiredto be sewn on them. Uniform sized district badges would be animprovement. Polo shirts are practical but a nightmare to sew badges on. Asecond pocket would be helpful and the pocket flap is not big enough for theamount of badges required. The epalet should be re introduced at ScoutLevel as there is nothing for the Chords to attach to. The green Scout logodoes not stand out on the dark navy and the Green Explorer level badgesblend in as not to be seen clearly. A better contrast colour would help.

39 the material is quite hot and does not allow to breath. the colour and cotrastof material fades quite quickly....

Mar 16, 2012 8:35 AM

40 The womans style shirt is to small compared to the mens, the sleeves are toshort. The material is very hot in summer and cold in winter.

Mar 15, 2012 10:16 PM

41 The fabric in the dress shirts has far too much synthetic. You feel like you'rewearing a plastic bag. The navy dye of the polo shirts fades far too much,and the shirts look old and untidy next to the newer ones. No-one tucksshirts in these days, so it shouldn't be expected, especially from some of theless shapely female leaders. If the shirts were hip-length in anything femaleover size 16 that would be the biggest improvement since women put on ascout uniform!!!!!!!!!!!

Mar 15, 2012 9:50 PM

42 Needs Multiple pockets Mar 15, 2012 7:33 PM

43 Sleeves on youth shirts could be longer to accomodate badges. I am findingthat in the Cub Section that badges are all over the place if the Cubs rally getinto badges.

Mar 15, 2012 3:50 PM

44 Size is fine 2 pockets and made from cotton would be better Mar 15, 2012 2:06 PM

45 side seam pockets would be nice for women; pockets Joey shirts makessense

Mar 15, 2012 12:10 PM

46 Scarfs do not fit nicely around collar Leaders uniforms fade and look tattyafter a year or so

Mar 15, 2012 8:13 AM

47 The material in the polo top is too hot when you live in a hot climate Mar 15, 2012 7:10 AM

48 fine Mar 15, 2012 12:00 AM

49 Larger pockets for both Cub and Leaders to fit the Yellow book into. Somemeans of secion identification - perhaps epaulettes and attach yellow forCubs, green for Scouts and so on

Mar 14, 2012 8:52 PM

50 Nothing Why not sell the fabric and ready made pockets with theembroidered logos on them? People who have a problem with the fit couldthen make their own shirts so that they do fit correctly.

Mar 14, 2012 8:12 PM

51 none Mar 14, 2012 6:47 PM

52 The biggest problem with the shirts is that they do not have enough overlapunder the buttons. This causes gaping between the buttons for any bodyshape that is not slender or large busted women. The shirts need more easein the chest area. What happened to the action pleat that used to be in thewomen's uniforms? The polo shirts are more practical for the above bodyshapes because of the stretch fabric and they move with your body. Thepockets are not ideally placed for women and perhaps would be better onthe sleeve, but because that is where the badges are sewn it is not practical.I have noticed some very faded shirts, so checking that any changes in fabricis totally colourfast would be a good idea.

54 They're unrecognizable as Scout shirts by the Public. Scout uniform HASBY TRADITION been Green. The Scouts in my area are always beingrecognized AS GUIDES.

Mar 14, 2012 3:09 PM

55 nothing Mar 14, 2012 3:06 PM

56 the material holds onto animal fur and "bobble bits" from the washingmachine too easily so it doesn't look as smart or crisp as the past uniform did

Mar 14, 2012 1:18 PM

57 They need 2 breast pockets so that the patrol leaders have somewhere toattach their white cords

Mar 14, 2012 12:29 PM

58 I wear the button-up shirt. Fabric is a bit heavy - hot for activities with cubson in summer. Colourfastness and durability are excellent.

Mar 14, 2012 12:17 PM

59 Take the collars away. The scarf is enough protect for the neck and thecollars get in the way. The polo neck type are very hot in summer

66 Should have long sleeves for Sunsmart purposes Mar 14, 2012 10:32 AM

67 The shirt should have Long sleeves to give sun protection. In warm weatherthe sleeves can be rolled up. The material should have a high cotton contentand a shirt collar, not the present bush collar. K mart and Target have beenselling long wearing comfortable business shirts for $15 for years. Two largerpockets for scout stuff.

Mar 14, 2012 9:41 AM

68 Improved fabric quality & better standard of the make would be nice Mar 14, 2012 9:22 AM

69 The old uniforms were better with no collar as the new ones with collar arehotter and harder to get the scarf to sit nicely. Old shirt had two pockets thatwas good we had district badge there which allowed more room forachievement badges. :)

72 The material of the t-shirt is heavy and uncomfortable to wear. A female T-shirt should be designed. The sizing does not work for a mixed gender t-shirt.

73 Its design suggests that it should not be tuck in. if fade after 3-5years, aboutthe time of the CAL review - coinsidence?

Mar 14, 2012 6:19 AM

74 I don't know anyone who likes to tuck the shirt in especially the children. Thematerial used for the polo style shirts tends to fade quickly compared to thebutton up shirt. Most parents seem to prefer the polo style shirt as it is morepractical for younger children.

Mar 14, 2012 6:13 AM

75 The collar is a bit difficult when the scarf is worn on the top of the collar. Amore flat shape could help

Mar 14, 2012 5:06 AM

76 Fade quickly. Kids shirts need lapels Mar 14, 2012 12:31 AM

77 As a woman with hips, I would prefer the (button all the way/ non stretch)shirt to have a larger hip allowance.

Mar 13, 2012 10:47 PM

78 nothing Mar 13, 2012 10:23 PM

79 Yes. I bought my shirt in 2005 and it is HOT. The earlier design was of amuch lighter material - much better. On a hot day, it's so uncomfortablehaving a hot rolled scarf around the neck, plus collar. I know the scarf ismeant to be practical, for first aid etc. but on hot days i fantasise having afalse scarf, just one layer thick, with candy strips sewn down the two frontbits. I wear a men's shirt, because the women's shirt is so tightly cut acrossthe shoulders that it fits only the most slender of women. I don't tuck my shirtin, as this would be most unflattering for me. I wear black or dark bluetrousers as I'm a Sea Scout leader. Hardly any of the youth members I knowtuck their shirts in. Even if my daughter got presented her Queen's Scout atGovernment House, I don't think she'd attend the ceremony if she had totuck her uniform shirt in. The polo shirt style uniform got very raggedylooking very quickly, with the blue fading badly. I would never recommendanyone to buy this version.

Mar 13, 2012 10:19 PM

80 pocket needs to be a little bigger to fit the cub/scout record book in. A littleshaped would be great.

Mar 13, 2012 10:16 PM

81 Too hot & need 2nd pocket Mar 13, 2012 9:57 PM

82 Youth shirts not available in female cut. The leader female shirt is very badlycut - it is extremely wide but not very long. The lowest button on the shirt isup far too high.

Mar 13, 2012 9:43 PM

83 Poor Quality material,fad's poor lay out and patern,and fit is poor and it lookscheap.

Mar 13, 2012 9:31 PM

84 The main problem with the polo shirts is that they fade,I wash mine in coldwater, dry it ib the shade and its still fading. Most os our scouts have polosand they have all faded and look terrible. Why not have plain blue shirts withattachable colours on shoulders, so a child can wear the shirt through to thenext section. It should also make the shirts cheaper, and more user friendly.As Joey's are now starting younger, please make their shirts smaller as well.Being a size xs I have no problem with the polo shirt, but I know biggerfriends do have problems with the fit

Mar 13, 2012 9:30 PM

85 There needs to be a light weight material option. Current shirts are too hot in Mar 13, 2012 9:10 PM

summer.

86 Pockets on kid's woven shirts too small for Scoutbooks. Stretch knit fabrictoo difficult to sew badges on easily.

Mar 13, 2012 9:08 PM

87 I wear a 2xl and do wish it was a little longer to be able to tuck it in properly.Also, if the sleeves for the Venturers we a little longer, it would not be asdifficult to have their badges sewn on.

Mar 13, 2012 9:03 PM

88 the fabric is quite warm which is fine in winter but too hot in summer, the cutisn't flattering for most women

89 Nothing Mar 13, 2012 8:52 PM

90 Yes they get too hot in summer etc. IE dark colour!! Mar 13, 2012 8:43 PM

91 Pockets are a little too small for the green scout books, a note pad & a pen.They still tend to loose/bleach out their colour. Fabric balls have formed onmy shirt.

Mar 13, 2012 8:10 PM

92 I don't like having shirt tucked in. I also find the shirts to be too hot; they don'tbreath too well. Would prefer more cotton blend.

Mar 13, 2012 8:07 PM

93 I find the fabric of the shirt extremely uncomfortable in hot weather - itdoesn't breath and becomes really stinky. The women's fit shirt (which thequestion infers doesn't exist) is almost impossible to fit badges on withoutlosing them under the collar or scarf. Otherwise I like the fit and it iscomfortable in mild weather. I hate the trousers though - they definitely needa women's fit...Harriet High Pants eat your heart out! Had to go to a youth'ssizing to have anything near fitting me and I am not a small woman.

Mar 13, 2012 8:00 PM

94 Fading, could be better fitted but usually not a problem as you have bettermovement. I don't like tuck in shirts. The uniform can look just as nice if wornuntucked.

Mar 13, 2012 7:25 PM

107 the material is rather heavy and thick this results in them being extremely hotto wear during the daytime in queensland's climate. The khaki uniform wasalot thinner material and breathed alot easier thus felt cooler to wear andwas overall more comfortable. I would suggest going to a similar fabric aswas used in the khaki uniforms. I would like to see dual breast pockets onthe uniform shirts other than the polo. i feel that tucking the shirt in shouldremain a requirement in an effort to display tidiness to the public.

Mar 11, 2012 11:10 AM

108 the pocket on the shirts are innappropriate for ladies. it sits in the wrongplace and if you put anything in the pocket it just looks weird. Also have justpurchased an adult leaders (ladies tailored) shirt and the sizes were notsmall enough. on me it doesnt even look tailored and i have the smallest sizethat is made. smaller sizes would be nice

Mar 6, 2012 6:29 PM

124 Finally they have a ladies shirt. I think it is shaped very well. Mar 6, 2012 6:06 PM

125 I think that they should have a more of a womens fit type of shirt, also in thesummer the material isnt very breathable so can be very warm.

Mar 6, 2012 5:36 PM

126 having a collar and a scarf seems very silly and is uncomfortable espeacilyhere in Cairns. the Dark Blue is extremely hot! the old Karhki was muchbetter. maybe there needs to be a northern or tropics uniform as heat stressis a very real problem in the tropics

127 The button holes on the polo shirts are too weak. Mar 6, 2012 11:00 AM

Mar 4, 2012 10:10 PM

142 Design (fit) is good, but I find the material quite hot - would prefer 2 pockets -great to have a ladies shirt at last. As a leader, I find it frustrating (& costly)to have to tell Parents that they have to change sheir child's shirt when theygo up to the next section. I like to see you youth Members with shirts tuckedin, as it looks far smarter. The shirts fade very quickly - I am about topurchase my third shirt because of fading because as a leader trainer I need

144 Living in Queensland & Im not the only Leader with this opinion....theLeaders shirts are made of a very heavy Cotton material that is not onlyheavy but very hot as the dark colour tends to absorb the heat veryquickly....as the ladies tops should be of a larger cut as that larger ladies canwear them instead if the mens shirts....we think these shirts should be madeof a much lighter & friendlier material but NOT nylon...like the sportsshirts...thx

155 I would prefer the women's blouse to be made of poly cotton not totallymanmade material which gets very hot. The t-shirts are better but not sosmart. The pants are not a very good fit for women.

166 The collar does not work well with a scarf; it's too short to go over the scarfand too long to go under it. It would be easier if there was no collar- you'reunlikely to wear the shirt without a scarf. Construction of shirt is good.Sleeves are a good length. Should look OK untucked.

180 The adult women's button down is fine. The Joey shirt needs a pocket. TheCub shirt, particularly in smaller sizes, gives up most of the right sleeve tothe district/region badge and the tape and is a pain if the Cub earns anyirregular sized badges or more than 6 badges overall. The polo shirts lookratty after about a year of wear and are a poor investment for families. Theycan rarely be sold second hand. We recommend all our families buy thebutton down, bought a size bigger it lasts for the three years of Cubs.

190 too thick, too dark and too hot, the rest is ok Mar 1, 2012 9:07 AM

191 1. There should be a lighter material option - In Queensland they'reuncomfortable because they're so heavy. It's not any kind of pleasant tohave leaders walking around with sweat patches under their arms becausethey walked from their car to the den in uniform... 2. The material of the olduniforms was brilliant! In an emergency it made an excellent impromptubandage because of the way it tore! - It would be nice to have that sort ofutility considered in future iterations of the uniform. 3. The lack of a secondtop pocket is painful! It's also a big kick in the teeth against getting Cubs tobring their handkerchief, notebook, pencil, 50c, yellow book and other bitsand pieces. Or has the movement dropped trying to teach the young ones to"Be Prepared"? 4. The new belt buckles are boring. They're like belts youcan get at any shop that's pretending to be trendy. It would be brilliant to seethe old style belt because it had character! It made us special. Even if youwant to put the new colour scheme on it. 5. Although I would like to seeleather belts again as well. I remember doing an air activities base and as away to commemorate they heated up some metal and imprinted into the belt!That was cool! We should have more of that! Do you know how awesomethat was to show off? 6. It's often a point of contention about whatconstitutes proper pants - sure, the dark blue/black/tan long pants. Sometans are a bit darker and some blues are a little bit green. They don't need tobe mandatory, but a range of pants in those colours should be available. (forblue and tan perhaps have an example at each end of the allowablespectrum?) These pants should also include just that little bit more utility thanother pants... A Fob Pocket for 50c coins! Perhaps some thicker belt loopsso they don't break easily in the slightly more exciting life of a Scout! Kneepockets, so it's easy to carry things to "Be Prepared"! As our most publiclyrecognised motto, we should have a uniform that at least appears toencourage that! (A movement that specialises in youth outdoor activitiesshould not look like a bunch of corporate cut kids with a bit of colour on theirshoulders!) 7. No epaulettes was a terrible idea! Was there any thought intothe award scheme that a Scout would be putting on this uniform?! What's theofficial idea about how a high achiever Scout should wear a cord? - At leastbring out some fabric strips that can be easily sewn on by/for these kids sothey can wear their cord without all the awkwardness! The things I'vesuggested emphasise the following things. Practicality, Utility, Long StandingTraditions, and Character! Make sure any planned changes emphasisethese things; they're important to not lose sight of.

useful on the right hand side. being that there are no uniforn shorts/pantsthey do not seem to work tucked in, most wear them untucked

255 I have a mens shirt as the womens shirts do not go large enough to fit me. Ialso cannot find any beige pants to fit me either, anywhere. So am I toassume that large ppl shouldn't be leaders?

Feb 28, 2012 9:06 PM

256 I find the shirts too hot especially in the summer, a lighter material would begood for summer. When meeting with fellow leaders, it is hard to determinewhich section they are from, because the shirts are just 'blue', We used tohave epilepts to distinguish who was from what section. Now there is notraditional character. I believe all shirts should be tucked in, as this is part ofbeing in uniform, looking smart, to teach our youth to take pride in being inuniform, what it's all about

Feb 28, 2012 8:55 PM

257 the shirts are ok but the pants need to be rethinked Feb 28, 2012 8:48 PM

Feb 28, 2012 12:05 PM

269 Why don't we have fitted Rover shirts? I am also a leader, and have a fittedwomen's leader shirt. I find it incomprehensible that I cannot have a fittedRovers shirt. They are more comfortable, especially for the large chested -my current shirt is too big because men's shirts are not designed for awoman's body. It would look and feel far better to have fitted women's shirts.

Feb 28, 2012 12:03 PM

As a Rover Advisor and having previously worn ahighly visual shirt clearly identifying me a Rover Advisor, I now walk into aroom and have extreme difficulty identifying other Rover Advisors in theroom.

318 I don't think the shirts are of a very good quality for price paid. Buttons falloff, my son's scout shirt has faded badly only after being in scouts for oneyear, and then it wouldn't be worn for even one day per week. The collar rollsup and does not stay neat. There is wear in the pocket where he puts hisgreen book in and the pocket is too tight for it. My kids have complained ofthem being too hot to wear when outside doing activities in the warmermonths. The fabric of the shirt is not cool and I feel the dark navy blue colorfor the Australian climate for kids is a silly idea, who thought of that, this isAustralia!. Attachment of my son's shoulder cord by using a badge, is thatserious? Overall I don't believe much thought as gone into the design orselection of the scout's uniform and probably should be fixed for futurescouts.

332 I think the cub sleeves are too small for badge placement. There has beenno consideration for the larger region badges. My daughter can only fit 2rows of badges under hers also the shape of the shirt is horrible for a younggirl. The polo shirts fade very easy and look terrible. For a scout shirt wherethey spend a lot of time outside I'm disappointed in the price of them incomparison to the duration they last. The colors are nice.

335 1/ knit fabric is not as robust as woven fabrics 2/ dark colours contribute toheat stress during physical activities 3/ uniforms for all ages need to be sunsmart 4/ sewn on badges are safer (and less easily lost) than pin-on metalbadges 5/ uniform needs a basic core of shirt and pants - that is common toall age groups (parents need to be able to pass on to siblings).

sweaty, defs when in the sun, too hot to wear out with the dark color. Maybeshould make them lighter in both fabric and colour. I hated the polo when inscouts, it looked scrappy, faded badly and the buttons fell off. At least thevennies shirt doesn't do that.

361 Nothing Feb 21, 2012 2:31 PM

362 Heavy and hot. Make them in a lighter, cooler material and theyd be great.Also, I've only just moved up to fellowship so I found the lack of womens fit inrovers was a big problem. The male fit shirt meant that the shoulders on myXXXL shirt sat halfway down my biceps, making the badges and knot sit allwrong and it was way too expensive to have it altered. I am nowhere nearthe only or largest woman in the section so its a common problem which isalso being experienced by the smaller than average girls. The Female fit inthe leaders shirts look much nicer and it would be much appreciated by therovers to be treated as the adults they are, not children.

Feb 21, 2012 1:09 PM

363 I don't like to tuck the shirt in. With no uniform pants it can be difficult to fit itand then it just looks bad. The new uniform is way too informal to be tuckedin anyway. It looks silly. I'd say something about women's fit, because it doeslook like a potato sack on women, but there wouldn't be much point becausesince when have clothes designers ever known anything about designingclothes for women?

Feb 21, 2012 12:49 PM

Feb 21, 2012 11:59 AM

366 I find the uniform is very uncomfortable to wear on hot days. Particularly inthe sun. I think scouts should have a uniform they could use for all the thingsthey do when in and outside not just for show. My shirt after only a year hasalso faded and looks bad now and I still have two years of scouts to go andmy mum says is too expensive too buy another as it still fits, but I think itlooks bad and don't really like wearting it now. Also the shirt pocket doesn'tfit my green scout book good, is too tight and has already ripped my pocket.If the uniform is for scouts why deosn't the book fit properly? I think anotherpocket would be good too to put other stuff in. Also my cord keeps comingoff when the scoutcraft badge has ripped off so I don't thisnk this is a goodidea. I think scouts should make a uniform that actually works for scouts! Idon't think the current one is good and don't like all the colours. White pantsare no good either, would prefer army pants or soemthing liek that which iscool and good for activtieis, hiking and stuff.

Feb 21, 2012 11:56 AM

375 The material traps heat more than even the 1990s khaki uniform material did(and far more so than older uniforms from the 1970 - which I have worn forheritage activities). Blue also as a colour absorbs the heat from the sunmore. The Blue with bright Red tends to stand out, and look far too casualfor many ceremonies Rovers are involved it. The lack of a second pocket,and embroidered corporate logo mean badges are not able to be as spreadout, and the lack of epaulettes is a major problem for Rovers, as sew onepaulettes just look silly.

Feb 21, 2012 7:34 AM

376 I think the colors are an issue because youth keep growing and sometimeshave to get more than one within there time in a section and we are unableto get an effective second hand as they are always in the wrong color.

Feb 21, 2012 12:52 AM

377 Dark colour is too hot, material lasts well, but heavy and hot. Cubs sizesstart too big - i have had to sew up the bottom and sleeves of my three kids'cubs uniforms until they have grown into them (size 8) at about 10 years old.However, the colours of the shirts (navy and coloured yoke) do look nice andi love the yoke and collars being different for each section. The navy blue isnice, but too hot for Australia. A nice light, high in cotton fabric that doesn'tneed much ironing would be good.

379 I feel the biggest issue I find that both for myself and the youth members isthat the uniform shirt is too hot to wear for any practical purposes at any timeother than in winter. Both the materials the shirts are made from, particularlythe polos, is too hot and the dark navy colour absorbs the sun's heat. Reallythey are too hot to be practical for any sort of outside wear. Uniforms shouldbe of a lighter material and lighter colour for outside wear during the day.This is a big issue for youth members who quickly overheat and becomedistressed. Younger members particularly cubs and Joeys who cannot easilymonitor their water intake overheat and become dehydrated quickly. Due tosome problems our group has had with members in the sun, we have nowbanned the uniform for any outside daytime activities. It's a shame given allwould like to wear a scout uniform out and about. This problem with theuniform should be assessed for wearing by youth members under Scoutsafepolicies. I believe a new lighterweight and lighter coloured uniform should beintroduced as soon as possible. One that is practical for outside wear in theAustralian climate. The USA has done it with their new Centennial uniform,so scouts Australia should too. The other issue is the shirts, particularly thepolos, both fade and ball quickly only after about a year of use and lookshabby, needing replacement.

382 My pockets are too high on my shirt. The badges above the pocket arehidden by my scarf/collar. The fabric is heavier than the old design and so ishot and not breathable in summer. A lighter weight fabric is easier forsummer and you can still layer hidden thermals under it in winter. I hadcullottes hand made rather than try to fit into 'unisex' pants that are offered atSnowgum. I am always scrubbing my son's scout pants. I find the light colourvery impractical. From a design point 'light' colours should be used on theupper part of the body, and darker colours on the bottom.

My two childrenfind the cub and Joey shirts to be hot too in the summer months. The designof the shirt is good and the fabric will last well, but the fabric is also very thickwhich is what makes it hot. I like the modern uniform.

Ithink eppaulettes should be brought back for Venturers, Rovers and Leaders(at least then you'd know which section/s a leader belongs to!)

It'snot good to wear out when you want to because of this. I think the pocket istoo small to put the green scout book in (have already torn my pocket in onecorner and have had the button come off). I also think their should be twopockets to put more stuff in. I think attaching the cord under the scoutcraftbadge is really bad and scouts could come up with a better idea than that.So I just think the shirt should be made lass hotter and more practical for ourscout activities.

483 Nothing serious I can think off, material seems quite soft but sturdy. Designalso ok.

Feb 16, 2012 11:22 PM

484 No female shirts available. Everything else is good Feb 16, 2012 11:07 PM

485 nothing Feb 16, 2012 9:51 PM

486 it dosen't have mutch space for badges Feb 16, 2012 9:49 PM

487 Ladies shirt sleeves are too short. The material is too thick and hot. Thematerial fades. It is hard to sew badges onto T shirts. The t shirts look reallydaggy after a few washes, it is hard to ask parents to dry in the shade or thedryer. The whole outfit looks bad after a few washes and they end up alldifferent colours so we all look different on parades - ANZAC Day etc. Needmatching pants or all pants are to be the same.

Feb 16, 2012 9:40 PM

488 Would like it to fit women better, not so baggy. Don't think there is enoughspace for badges compared to the older shirts we had (khaki). Also preferredit when you could tell sea scouts from 'land scouts'

Feb 16, 2012 9:28 PM

489 The sizes are more suited for men and don't take into account womens sizedifferences

Feb 16, 2012 9:15 PM

490 No women's shirts. Otherwise fine :) Feb 16, 2012 9:07 PM

491 Be nice if it looked better when not tucked in. Feb 16, 2012 9:00 PM

492 nothing Feb 16, 2012 8:54 PM

493 I think some of the smaller shirts are difficult to fit all the badges on. Theshirts look a lot better than the polos and think that there shouldn't be anoption to choose a polo.

Feb 16, 2012 8:51 PM

494 They're a bit hard to breathe in and get considerably hot. Feb 16, 2012 8:24 PM

495 It is more comfortable not tucked it. And looks better on leaders with lessthan perfect bodies!

Feb 16, 2012 8:22 PM

496 nothing Feb 16, 2012 8:20 PM

497 The smallest size is too large. They aren't really catered to those who are ofa smaller frame. Also as rover aged, there probably should be an option forwomens' fit.

Feb 16, 2012 7:59 PM

498 nothing Feb 16, 2012 7:51 PM

499 The material on my Leaders shirt tends to knot-up (IE lots of small knots ofmaterial) around the collar & other areas of the shirt.

501 gets too hot Feb 16, 2012 7:06 PM

502 no Feb 16, 2012 7:02 PM

503 Hate the colour, we look like coppers. Oh, UNSTYLISH coppers, cos theuniform pants are neatly designed on women to sit right beneath the boobs.If we're old, we look older. We don't actually all want hipsters, but surely wedont need to dress like seventy year olds? I buy non issue cargo pants andthe newer shirts that you don't tuck in.

511 The lack of fit for womens. & the sleeves are waay to long. The length of theshirts is also quite long.

Feb 16, 2012 5:33 PM

512 i do not like tucking the shirt in but it does look better. also i think thereshould be a better fit for girls

Feb 16, 2012 5:31 PM

513 The lack of epaulettes to attach the cords to. Material is too heavy/hot for lotsof activities

Feb 16, 2012 5:24 PM

514 i don't like how their so baggy and have to be tucked in with the bonecoloured pants

Feb 16, 2012 5:08 PM

515 No space for cords in scouts. Rover BP award badges are a tight squeezeon the sleeve.

Feb 16, 2012 5:03 PM

516 Need an actual women's shirt, more fitted. Tucking the shirt in looksridiculous, so you should not need to.

Feb 16, 2012 4:55 PM

517 the shirt are not catering to big boob girls. we have to go the size up but thenthey are to long and go to our knees.

529 I do find the new shirt harder to wear (as a woman), especially across mybust (if I know I'm going to be moving around a lot I'll tend to wear a shirtunderneath just incase a button comes undone) and it's too short & thereforekeeps untucking itself. I don't think it's entirely practical having a differentshirt for each section - yes it looks nice, but it often means parents have tobuy a new shirt before the child has grown out of an old one...or needs tobuy multiple shirts for the same section because of a growth spurt.Considering one of the arguments for the new uniform in the first place wasto make it cheaper for parents I think this is a MASSIVE problem. I alsodislike the fabric of the new shirts. They look great new, but they fade reallyquickly and look quite messy because of that. I've seen leaders wearingshirts that are more gray than blue let alone navy. The fabric is also not niceto wear when you are doing active activites or outdoors in summer,especially compared to how light the old uniform shirts used to be. I alsodislike the fact that by definition there are no uniform pants, howeverdifferent branches can enforce different 'uniform' pants...there are eitheruniform pants or not. At the moment it is just messy and confusing. (Andwhile I would support it if it became official, light coloured pants are really nota sensible option in my opnion for a program that aims to be outdoors asmuch as possible.) Sorry for the vent but this is one of the few opportunitieswe have had to provide feedback on this. Congrats to the NYC for beingbrave enough to ask these questions!!! :)

560 The size of the shirts is ridiculous I am in a ladies 14 and it is to big but wayto short so I couldn't go any smaller. The female leaders shirts should beoffered for females in every section. They are alot more flattering. Thematerial is very hot summer.

566 I wrote a complaint at the time shortley before the last uniform change. I was14 and ignored So I don't realy see the point of this but I guess I'll humouryou. - We are not recognisable as scouts anymore. - Nobody knows who weare when we're in uniform. - People ask us who we are with the assumptionthat we are some charity youth group for special kids from a local church. -Each time we go up a section we have to buy a new shirt, rather than justchanging the badges. - I live in a working to lower class area and helped outin my groups cup pack, the cost of a new uniform every few years has led tonumber of kids dropping out. - We look like rainbow coloured twats.

I had only one shirt from scoutsto rovers,we managed to recognise who was what without any difficulty. Asfor tucking the shirt in, scouts in hobart seem to weart the shirt outside anyold trousers or shorts, they look a complete ragtag shambles, only the SeaScouts seem to have retained any proper uniform, - shorts and socks.

40 of 156



small and skinny girls in cubs and scouts the smallest size was quite big forthem

621 the fact that the T shirts arn't wool is displeasing. woollen uniforms would bebetter for keeping water of our bodys

Feb 15, 2012 9:32 PM

622 I am large busted and the shirts gape, but if I get a larger shirt they sit funnyand don't look nice. I also find that they aren't quite long enough to tuck in ifyou have a larger bust. One final point about the shirts is that they are verythick and can be hot in summer. As for the pants..... if they could come inshort, regular and long length it would help! also a womens fit in the pantswould be nice. Would be good if the pants were all the same too. I own 2pairs and my partner also has 2 pairs and all 4 are different coloursdepending on when we bought them and they are all the regitered pants.note that 2 pairs were bought in the same transaction!!

Feb 15, 2012 9:31 PM

623 Large ladies require large shirts but not square bags, fitted ladies shirts thataccomodate large tummies. the buttons on the adults shirts need to bebeigger they keep popping open. leaders should have their colours. lightercotton woudl be good. again the beige pants stop in sizes for larger peoplewe want to wear the same as everytone else with the short/pantsconvertables. the material goes purple after while so better quality cotton

Feb 15, 2012 9:28 PM

633 I find that having a women's fit in the leaders role can be uncomfortable forus larger figured women. Also with the youth shirts why can't the lapelsbeing an attachment to the shirt rather than having to purchase a new shirtevery time the youth member links up to the next section.

646 The short sleeves get a bit cold in winter. I very rarely tuck the shirt in. Feb 15, 2012 8:38 PM

647 the sleeves are too small on the joey and cub uniforms. there is no way to fitthe badges on them!

Feb 15, 2012 8:35 PM

648 The leader shirts hold the heat. Navy looks like the Girl Guides. I find theLadies shirts are well cut. I think the Polo shirts fade and look un-professional.

Feb 15, 2012 8:35 PM

649 I think the shirt should be cotton as the blend is hot and scratchy. I don't liketucking in because women don't look good in a tucked in shirt, it is alsouncomfortable to tuck in.

652 My shirt is pretty good, it would be better if they made them in smaller sizes-mine's huge and it's the smallest size. Also, I don't like the leaders femaleshirts- how they are not supposed to be tucked in, I think it would look heapsbetter if they were made longer so that they would be able to be tucked in.

right size as they grow because they can't wear it up into the next section.Epaulettes were useful for all sorts of things - flashes, holding cords, etc.

692 The pocket on the shirt is just a little (a couple of mm) too small to fit theyellow book in properly. Ive ripped the seams on the top of mine and Mumkeeps having to sew it up...

Feb 15, 2012 3:50 PM

826 The biggest issue is the heavy fabric - totally impractical for any traditionalscouting activities. A lightweight modern "sports" material would be farbetter. Also, the Scouts Australia white badge should be "built in" to the shirtand replace the current Scouts Australia logo. It is pointless having the logoand then having to sew on another badge to represent the same thing.

Some of the ladies areadmirably proportioned and would like a "ladies" cut of the shirt in a range ofsizes instead of the current shirts that fit most guys well. EppaulettesScouts need something on the shoulder to hold their chords .... Rovers havebeen known to add red eppaulettes to thir uniform... Further when you lookat a leader in a group you cannot tell at a glance what section or what part ofthe heirachy they are from.....a bring back the Eppaulette and leader tabs.

839 I'm a bit of a top heavy woman, i find it quite difficult to find a shirt that looksnice and still makes me look like a girl. This was not an issue with the olduniform as it tucked in, this allowed us girls to still look like girls, I'm proud tobe a women in scouting so I'd like to still look like one when I wear myuniform.

876 The fact that Scout shops don't have any women sizes when you go to trythem on and then just encourage you to order a smaller size without evenknowing it will fit. In saying that I wear a small ladies and it is huge on my inall areas (across the back and length).

894 the lack of women's fit shirts in the youth sections, particulary ventures androvers, is annoying as it is hard to get a shirt to fit properly

Feb 15, 2012 12:22 PM

895 I dislike the material which is too thick, and the dark colour is impractical forhot days. For women the uniform is frustrating as either it is too tight over thebust area or too long if that is fixed. I support tucking the uniform in and I findit looks more precise. The lack of uniform pants is irritating because thecurrent nsw suggestion of a stonewashed colour marks and stains easily,and the lack of a national standard on this is illogical. Finally, the need tochange shirts every section is frustrating especially for scouting memberswho are in a lower socio-economic class and can't afford it. Even my groupscurrent system of a uniform pool requires a certain level of payment.

909 The normal constructions are fine despite odd sizing. Women's fits don'tseem to compensate for breasts properly - they're fine around the hips andthen tight around the chest, if you go bigger to compensate for chest area,then you end up wearing a dress. I normally take a 14 or 16 in a shirt withbuttons, I'm having to think of moving up to a 20 (and let's not even THINKabout me being able to put anything in my pocket at any of those sizes!) Assomeone who's worked at Snowgum, I think that there needs to be one sizesmaller for Joeys, as well as smaller sizes in Rover and Venturer shirts madereadily available - Most females have to go in something like an XXXS - M,but it usually seems that only S and Ms are available which is a problem fora lot of female members!

912 The lack of epaulettes is a real shame as it was a great way to display somethe badges. Also when in venturers trying to fit all the QS tapes on thesleeve was a challenge and ended up being congested and hard toappreciate the badges. A more fitted shirt for women would be nice also :)

Feb 15, 2012 11:40 AM

916 It would be nice if there was a women's fit! I think that the shapelessness ofthe uniform at the moment is very unflattering to women. The sizing is alsoan issue for women. Many women and girls are small by nature, but have nochoice but to wear shirts that are too large for them, despite that it was thesmallest option available. Also, the lack of consistency with pant colours/designs is not very practical. I think that if a colour is to be specified it shouldbe black or navy blue, simply because it looks so much better and is easierto maintain and keep clean (especially for younger sections). If there is anational design decided upon at a later stage, it would be nice if it was aflattering cut for women, rather than these horrible cargo styles that only lookgood on men. Dress pants for each gender is the way to go. Cargo pantscan be saved for camps.

930 The shirts are made from a heavy material, and often if we're doing sevice inthe sun they don't breath well and are very hot. Also, being a slim male, theyare either to short in length, or to baggy in width making them uncomfortableor difficult to tuck in.

940 Some Commercial "Work shirts" have "Vents" in the armpits and/or acrossthe back. There are probably several but "Bizley" is a brand that has them.This feature would be nice during activities.

Feb 15, 2012 10:34 AM

941 There are no tailored shirts for females, with the exception of the leadersection. Development of a women's fit in the scout, venturer and roversections would be well recieved, especially as scout and venturer femaleswho are 'well developed' are often forced to buy a large size which does notproperly fit, which is extremely obvious to their peers, and may cause themto feel extremely uncomfortable. In no way can female rovers, grownwomen, be expected to wear a badly fitting unisex size under the excuse thatyouth members are 'still developing', as females in this section are clearlynot growing children with a changing shape. There should also be smallersizes for rovers and leaders available, as I myself am too small for an XSdue to both my short stature and small frame (but in no way is my stature orframe completely outlying the average) in the current unisex shirt, as aremany others. The lack of a female fitted shirt with a full sizing range looksunprofessional at public events, as when tucked in shirts are often too bigand obviously appear to be, and when left untucked are often too longexcept on the tallest members.

951 The shirts fade after a good 5 years of yearing them. Feb 15, 2012 10:02 AM

952 I hate the sizing issue, the smallest available size (XS) is way too large anddetracts from wearing the uniform as I don't feel comfortable wearing a circustent. I have personally modified the shirt by making it smaller (about 20cm oneach side- showing just how much too big they are) and more of a women'sshape. Also, on an XS shirt when you get the name tapes, district badge,rover skills award diamond and specialist badges, there is not enough roomon the sleeve to place them properly. I don't tuck the shirt in- professionallythis is for men, women leave shirts out so I apply the same principles.

960 It is a problem that most women can only fit into a small size shirt orsometimes need an extra small and sometimes the uniform shop does notstock enough of the small. there needs to be womens sizes as well as menssizes so the shirts can also hold a womens fit.

1013 I understand that the epaulettes were removed from the uniform to stop itfrom looking so militaristic, but it makes wearing your cords a) a pain and b)look stupid. If you've got a cord is a big deal - you want to be able to wear itproudly, not have it shoved through a badge to hold it on or leave it swingingaround your neck. I'd like to see epaulettes back on the uniform. Thewomen's fit of the leader's shirts is fantastic. I am also a rover and it isincredibly uncomfortable not being offered the same courtesy. You can beboth a rover and a leader at eighteen, so why it isn't possible to acknowledgethat a youth section has breasts is beyond me. It's embarrassing that everygirl in our crew is wearing the smallest size river shirt on offer and we all looklike we're wearing dresses the shirts are so big. Not all rovers are

1035 The uniform should still have epaulets, especially in the Scout section -where the cords used to hang. It is more traditional and A LOT safer thanaround the neck!!! Also the shirts should run in women's sizes that are moretailored, I'm not sure it has changed since, although to my knowledge theshirts come in only men's sizes and I do not believe that this is fair to womenas the organisation is no longer for males only, there are many women inScouting and we deserve the right to wear uniforms that fit correctly, insteadof being forced to wear men's clothes due to a lack of choices.

1037 I think the rover uniform should have as you say a 'women's fit.' Although therovers are classifyed as a youth section they are adults with adult shapesand sizes as well. The leaders uniform caters for the female body why can'tthe rover section as well. The shirts are also not very breathable during thewarmer days. Makes it dificult when going on day hikes, scav hunts etc.

The quality of it is simply that it ripsand tears and isn't hardy enough. Whoever makes it in China is completelyripping us off. 2) It COSTS $50 to buy the blue shirt for a Leader, and forYouth parents' it costs $40 for their sons/daughters shirts. That isn;t cheap -but again we were "promised" it would be a lower cost - instead, it increased.3)) IIn essence, the shirt IS the uniform. It simply does not "present" itself byconforming when in public in an orderly manner. We need a proper paradeshirt, plus the Outdoors shirt such as the current blue shirt portrays. The"hang your shirt out instead of tucking it in" on ANZAC Days, in full publicview is abysmal. No wonder we are branded as completely sloppy - andthat's the reason Youth DON'T join us. 34 We need TWO pockets, not one -it looks useless with only one pocket on it. Wake up NATIONAL and getyour act together. Ring me on 03 6243 1500 and ask for Tony. I've been inthe Association for 48 years and have seen it all, continually, come and go....& you wonder why there is a dearth of youth members - if your NationalYouth Committee can spot it in less than 10 years, it makes you wonder whythe National Leaders cannot - so, its ONLY taken 104 years - to date- towork it out, eh ?

1042 Nothin Feb 14, 2012 10:33 PM

1043 Our Region has already discussed that their need's to be a women's shirt,rather than unisex. Local district has rules based on button up/polo andwhether shirt gets tucked in...

Feb 14, 2012 10:33 PM

1044 There is no female cut for venturers, rovers does not make it very formal. Feb 14, 2012 10:33 PM

Also with rovers and scouts they need epiletes so that important rover skillsand scout cords can be put upon the shirt correctly.

1045 The chest pocket is too small for the scout green book. The shirts could besold much cheaper than they are.

Feb 14, 2012 10:26 PM

1046 We don't tuck our shirts in as they look better thus way. Some of the maleleaders in our group do but that us just preference. Nothing really wrong withthe shirt

1050 lack of womens' fit is an issue. Shirts too bulky around the neck, especiallywhen the scarf too is worn.

Feb 14, 2012 10:18 PM

1051 too heavy - too hot to wear in warmer months. Feb 14, 2012 10:14 PM

1052 Should be Australian made... better quality.. Feb 14, 2012 10:10 PM

1053 If there were a women's fit, would it be in venturers, rovers and leaders?would they have to tuck their shirts in too?

Feb 14, 2012 10:01 PM

1054 female shits need to be fitted, there needs to be pants for females as thecurrent ones are more designed for males and are not comfortable forfemales

Feb 14, 2012 9:58 PM

1055 Venturer and Rover sections should have a ladies fit. It is ridiculous that Ienjoy wearing my leader uniform more just because it looks nice.Additionally, tucking in my shirt looks silly as it is not a appropriate length tobe tucked in due to the well fitting design of my shirt.

1059 Having to tuck them is a issue for me personally as I have never liked beingtucked in - always in trouble for it at school as well (see some of us adults doremember that 'far' back.) Also, some of the parents hve fed back that thepolo shirts fade quicker and also harder to sew the badges onto than thebutton up shirts as well de to the differnces of the material. Applies to bothyouth shirt and adults as my husband has the polo shirt, and it was bouthover 12 months after mine and is fades in patches,

Feb 14, 2012 9:49 PM

1060 Missing epaulettes. Otherwise, construction is fine. Feb 14, 2012 9:47 PM

1061 The current shirt is a good design with a dark base colour to keep the dirtfrom showing however the lack epaulettes makes it difficult for cord awardsto be shown and Rovers to add their knights bars. The cut is quite unisexand is not very flattering for the larger ladies but the solution to this is clearly

a ban on fat chicks. A downside is the requirement to buy a new shirt foreach section that increases costs unless a group has a good clothing pooland members want to give up their shirts.

1066 I don't like the polo shirts - they don't wear well with fading and lossing theirshape. It's also a shit to sew badges onto. I know you didn't ask but leavingthe choose of the colour of the pants to the group is frastrating - with a bigevent, we don't look like an organisation because we all aren't in the sameuniform.

Feb 14, 2012 9:44 PM

1067 They ain't very practical for the outdoors, they ain't quick dry for example. Ido like they are made out of cotton and I don't really mind the lack of thelady's fit. I would never think about abseiling in them and I only wear them forformal events.

Feb 14, 2012 9:43 PM

1068 Nothing major. The blue coloruing washes out in a couple of years, not amajor issue.

Feb 14, 2012 9:42 PM

1069 The size of the shirts. Even a small looks like an extra large on me. Feb 14, 2012 9:42 PM

1070 ladies uniform shirt needs to be a bit longer and a slighly looser fit , not greatlook when you lift arms up and it rides above pants

Feb 14, 2012 9:42 PM

1071 Sizing is hard and the shape is very impractical for a woman. The pocketsare of little use as females get older.

Feb 14, 2012 9:42 PM

1072 Sizing never seeems to suit your average sized female. Shapes are notflattering - as they can be in a uniform style like this. Sleeves are often toolong and meet the elbows!!

Feb 14, 2012 9:39 PM

1073 I am a Cub Scout Leader and am currently wearing the polo top with yellowshoulders (just like the Cub Scouts) - The Cub Scouts love that their Leaderswear the same shirt as theirs. These need to be made in larger sizes. Whilethe plain blue shirts with section lapels are worn by many Leaders, the Youthtell me they prefer their Leaders in the same shirt colours as their own,

Feb 14, 2012 9:35 PM

1074 The shirts are made out of a quite heavy material and are not verybreathable so its gets very hot when you are for example wlaking aroundselling dougnuts fir fundraising. The shirts are also not very well deigned forpeple whom are short as a short person i find it quite annoying that the asmall is very long on me and although the sleves go to about my elbows ithink that is ok because it makes enough room for all the bagdes as myultimate goal is the queen scout i will need thee room so if we were tochange the sleve sizes this would need to b talein into consideration

Feb 14, 2012 9:29 PM

1078 They fade badly are odly sized and dont last Feb 14, 2012 9:25 PM

1079 They aren't really breathe-able, which makes them very hot to wear to somescouting occasions during summer. The Pants look awful on ladies.

Feb 14, 2012 9:23 PM

1080 I find them too hot in the sun with the dark colour, which makes them tooimpractical really for anything but indoor use, therefore is not much good asa uniform if you can't wear it for activities and stuff. The shirt definitely needsanother pocket for putting in notebooks, maps and things. When in scoutsyou need a proper way to attach the cords, was a real nuisance with themfalling off, passing them through the scoutcraft badge was really a dumb ideaand looks like an after thought. The polos were a really bad quality with thefading, heavier weight and wrinkling up of the collar. Button up ones arebetter.

Feb 14, 2012 8:40 PM

1103 Shirts in our group by all leaders are not tucked in - style does not sit welltucked in. Youth uniforms quickly fade, particularly the navy. Pockets do notwant to be any smaller due to youth placing their yellow/green books inthem.

Feb 14, 2012 8:33 PM

1104 The T-shit style fades really quickly and looks terrible after only a short time.the pockes on the shirts are only just big enough to fit in a record book (cubyellow book, scout green book etc...) they need to be a little bit larger so thekids dont have to force the book in there. would be handy if it had 2 breastpockets

Feb 14, 2012 8:32 PM

1105 When buying my Rover shirt I couldn't find any 'women's fit' style shirts so Ihave a men's shirt in stead. It is quite baggy and doesn't look the best. I don'tlike tucking it in and there isn't really enough length to do so anyway. Also,the fabric is quite hot to wear.

Feb 14, 2012 6:52 PM

1149 - Size and placing of the pocket: fine - Sizing: works fine for me - Size ofsleeves: for the Scouts, somehow they are not long enough, or they start toolow. There is not enough room to put the number of rows of badges theyshould, especially if you go to a Jamboree and have to fit the name of theState too. - Shaping: fine for me - Tuck the shirt in: it is way not long enoughand wants to pop out, or is it meant to be out? No, otherwise you don't seethe belt. - Epaulettes: They are missing, or at least the one for the cords (inthe Scouts section). For the Leaders, I like the Section badge idea, excellent.- Material: it is what it is, but I think that nowadays there is a wider range ofgood material. In Queensland on a hot day, the shirts are terribly hot. At leastthey dont smell bad, like other materials. - Colours for Sections: At thebeginning I really could not understand that we went away from the kakishirt. But these blue shirts with the various colours are beautiful. Excellent. Ilike to see the differences, and as the Scouts change shirts every 4 years,they are always newish.

Feb 14, 2012 6:52 PM

Feb 14, 2012 6:08 PM

1181 i think you need more womans sizing, an extra pocket the sleeves should beall blue on youth as it is for adults the fabric is to hot and it should not betucked in it makes larger kids look silly

Feb 14, 2012 6:07 PM

1197 yes i and fairly big in the shoulders as a female that makes it hard for me tofind a shirt that fits well

Feb 14, 2012 5:48 PM

1198 The uniform is mostly fine however I am a tall person and I find that the pantsizing is incapable and the zip-off section is too short.

Feb 14, 2012 5:46 PM

1199 Personally, I think that having to tuck the shirt in is far beyond old-hat.Children have to do it at school, adults at work. It's much nicer to just have awell-fitted shirt that can be worn without being tucked in, like a Polo shirt.Also, options for wider shoulders without larger shirts would be good.

Feb 14, 2012 5:44 PM

1200 smallest shirt size available is far too big for me and the colour of the pantsaren't practical, they get dirty too easily.

Feb 14, 2012 5:43 PM

1201 LACK OF WOMENS' FIT! Wearing a Bag is no fun! Especially whenreceiving an award, representing Scouting or meeting important people! :(

Feb 14, 2012 5:42 PM

1202 I think there should be a more shaped shirt for women but apart from that itsall good

Feb 14, 2012 5:40 PM

1203 The lack of women's fit, it feels like we're being swamped. The sleeves alsoaren't long enough to put the badges on.

Feb 14, 2012 5:40 PM

1204 The material is quite heavy and so in summer when doing activities orrepresenting Scouting the uniform can be quite suffocating because of theheat. Beige pants are very unflattering and so can be rather uncomfortablefor female members of the organisation. A womens fit would be appreciated.Tucking the shirt in I think is a necessity for the button up shirt as it shows aprofessionalism and respect for Scouting as well as the community.

1207 More room on sleeves for badges Feb 14, 2012 5:34 PM

1208 The material is too synthetic and does not breathe. You cannot do any formof physical work in it, making it pointless to use for service activities. And no,I am not a stereotypical overweight, aged leader. I'm 26 and quite fit

Feb 14, 2012 5:33 PM

1209 The Shirt pockets are in an awkward position on the female uniform as iseven the basic cut for anyone with curves anywhere. It is too tight across thechest and hips while baggy and unseemly around the waist

Feb 14, 2012 5:33 PM

1210 I don't wear a women's cut leader shirt, but I know a lot of women do, and alot of Rovers would like to have the option.I also know that the size of thesleeve is often not big enough to fit all of the badges youth members earn.My Scouts also spend a lot of time taking their cords off and on as they get inthe way of games. Perhaps an easier method of taking it off and on would be

1211 Nothing, need better communication re bottom colour though,I askedcommittee what they had chosen and was told groups couldn't decide bottomcolour

Feb 14, 2012 5:30 PM

1212 womens fit in adult shirt is very poor. I am wearing a size too big and thelowest button is still above my belly button (even though the shirt itself is toolarge). I had to buy a bigger size as the smaller size was too short (eventhough too wide). Youth shirts should be available in female cut from scoutsection and above

1222 there is no female cut rover shirt, so i find that the mens sleeves are a tightfit. the fabric is also very thisk and living in an area that reaches 40 dergreesin summer, the shirts can be very hot to wear.

Feb 14, 2012 5:09 PM

1228 the sizes are too big, the pockets are too close to the arms, they're way toolong and there should be a different fit for girls.

1231 Love the shirts but the sizes are ridiculously made for women. I have thesmallest size and it's far too big for me, and I know a lot of girls who have aproblem with the way it's fitted.

Feb 14, 2012 5:00 PM

1232 I think the pants sold at snowgum are poorly designed and don't fit slim adultgirls. The kids sizes are too small around the waist but the adult ones areall too large and designed for women with hips. Also, while I don't believe aparticular pant should be uniform I think that policy should be one coloracross Australia.

Feb 14, 2012 4:46 PM

1244 I find them embarrasing to wear at formal occasions such as the ANZAC daymarch, in that they are far too informal. They are otherwise fine to wear, butas a Rover, any event which is official enough to warrant it, it seems toocasual for.

1246 there is a lack of women's fit, yet this is not of high importance, and the sizesavailable in each division do not range wide enough, especially towards thesmall end. For example, the XS of the Venturer uniform is still very big formost new Venturers; consider bringing in one step smaller for each section?Having to tuck the shirt in can be impractical if there is not appropriate pants,and can look messier than untucked shirts.

1253 The older (2004 originals) shirts were too heavy in material, but I've justbought a new one and it's much lighter, so I suspect it will be great. I kind ofmiss epaulettes (the look of them), but the shirt is fairly practical and smart.

Feb 14, 2012 4:26 PM

1254 The material is quite heavy especially in summer. Not have a womens cut inthe rover shirt can be difficult as it doesn't fit properly and can be veryuncomfortable

1255 No lapels is a problem for cords etc. and i dont mind having them, alsotucking shirtss in is bad

Feb 14, 2012 4:22 PM

1256 I like the button up shirts but I think the polo shirts are ugly. I also don't thinkthe material the polo shirts are made from lends itself to having badges sownon it. I wouldn't mind a more fitted men's shirt but I recognise this is nicerequirement. The length of the sleeves are fine but some people reallystruggle to fit all the badges on the. I think the main problem there is thatsome of the badges you get are too big.

1270 There needs to be womens' sizes in the Venturer and Rover shirts! I am anAustralian Ladies' size 12 and I fit the smallest Rover shirt (XS). We haveRovers who are size 8, they are swimming in it!! The record books only*just* fit in the pockets, particularly for Cubs. There are too many badgesbeing squeezed on to the sleeves. District/Region badges need to go on thefront or be gotten rid of, Cubs and Venturers in particular can't fit them andall of their award badges on their sleeves.

1297 the shoulders in the female leader uniform are too wide, and the sleevefinished near half way down the shirt, so when you hold your arms up itexposes your belly button. also some proper breast darts would be nicer.

1313 Excellent to see ladies shirts and the nice shaped bottom so bigger ladiescan wear it outside. Much happier rather than ordering a man's shirt. Willnever tuck shirt in no matter what the rule is. but agree that the T-=Shirt stylelooks horrible out so maybe if you don't what to tuck it in you must wear theformal button front shirt. Wish uniformed trousers were part of the uniformthough. io know we tried to keep cost down but I don't think we didourseleves any favour by not having trousers as part of the uniform. Nomatter how neat the shirt and scarves are, we never look professional in abig group of different groups. The only thing missing on the all blue shirt forLeaders was Leader identification which as been sloved by the LeaderFlashes.

72 Yes; looking at our leaders tonight out in public, every one of us had adifferent lower half (skirt/ shorts/ 3/4 pants/ jeans) - makes for a non-uniformeffect. Perhaps specify navy pants/ skirt/ shorts depending on the weather.

Mar 13, 2012 10:49 PM

73 yes Mar 13, 2012 10:24 PM

74 Yes, i am because i've reached the age of basically being beyondembarrassment. I do feel awfully bunchy around the neck, with the collar, thescarf, the lanyard and the wood beads. Most adults and most youthmembers look reasonably smart in their uniform. (But some Scouts andVenturers can look extraordinarily scruffy in theirs. Rovers look extremelysmart.

79 Yes Mar 13, 2012 9:31 PM

80 Yes Mar 13, 2012 9:10 PM

81 Yes. But having a neater scarf would help it look better. (The ribbon on oursis too thick and makes it hard to keep it in a tight roll.

Mar 13, 2012 9:10 PM

82 Yes happy. Mar 13, 2012 9:04 PM

83 yes Mar 13, 2012 9:00 PM

88 No, I am proud to wear it. It looks pretty good. Mar 13, 2012 8:08 PM

89 Yes Mar 13, 2012 7:27 PM

90 Yes, However sometimes it is too uncomfortable in warm/hot weather Mar 13, 2012 10:55 AM

91 Our troop regularly wears the uniform in public and we are always positivelycommented on.

Mar 12, 2012 8:55 PM

92 yes Mar 12, 2012 7:39 PM

93 yes. I am proud to weat it Mar 12, 2012 3:29 PM

103 im happy to wear it in public Mar 11, 2012 12:48 AM

104 not by myself. Because of the laymans ideas of a what a scout is. Mar 10, 2012 11:12 PM

Mar 8, 2012 9:15 PM

112 reasonably happy, it looks more like a corporate shirt than a uniform. Mar 8, 2012 7:56 PM

114 Happy to wear in public Mar 7, 2012 8:28 PM

118 Yes Mar 6, 2012 6:07 PM

119 Yes I am happy to wear it in public Mar 6, 2012 5:37 PM

120 I am happy to wear in public however most of the public do not know we arescouts until they ask or we tell them, seems a waste of good PR

Mar 6, 2012 5:33 PM

121 No - the Rover uniform makes me look like I work at Red Rooster. My leaderuniform leads to questions over whether I am a Sea Scout. Either way, it'sstill too soon to change over again.

Mar 6, 2012 11:03 AM

122 I'm pretty proud of the uniform Mar 6, 2012 10:57 AM

123 Only some times Mar 6, 2012 10:48 AM

134 yes Mar 4, 2012 10:27 PM

135 yes Mar 4, 2012 10:10 PM

136 I am proud to wear my uniform in public, but also have to note that we do notnow have a uniform, as the meaning of uniform is "all the same". We need tobrush up our act in the area of hats & trousers. .

Mar 4, 2012 9:19 PM

137 Proud to wear. Need more space for badges! Mar 4, 2012 8:09 AM

145 yes Mar 3, 2012 8:40 AM

146 yes Mar 3, 2012 8:11 AM

147 No I am not, it looks tacky, especially when Scouts elect to wear jeans andsneakers with the shirt. On ANZAC I am most appalled of our appearance,Scouting has gone from a respectable youth organisation dressed in khaki toa youth group dressed in casual pants and a poorly fitting shirt. I would beproud to wear the old khaki uniform again.

Mar 2, 2012 10:11 PM

148 Yes Mar 2, 2012 9:59 PM

149 happy Mar 2, 2012 9:21 PM

85 of 156


154 I think the current uniform is great to wear in public, it is much better looking& more modern than the old khaki uniform so it helps bring the scoutingimage up to date.

Mar 2, 2012 2:39 PM

155 yes. However I am appalled at the way some wear their uniform shirt withmulti coloured board shorts and an assortment of footwear. It shames thewhole movement. There should be a better standard.

Mar 2, 2012 2:19 PM

156 happy and proud to wear it in public Mar 2, 2012 1:34 PM

157 I was more proud of the old Kahki uniform, and wanted to wear that more inpublic. This one jut doesnt say "Scouts" like the old one.

Mar 2, 2012 11:53 AM

158 Yes Mar 2, 2012 10:39 AM

159 Neither happy nor unhappy. Mar 2, 2012 10:26 AM

171 yes Mar 1, 2012 10:42 PM

172 yes Mar 1, 2012 10:36 PM

173 I am proud to wear it in public. I often get stopped and people tell me abouttheir experiences in Scouting/Guiding or ask about how and where to join.

Mar 1, 2012 10:36 PM

174 yes Mar 1, 2012 7:25 PM

175 Very happy too Mar 1, 2012 6:43 PM

176 No prob, but tucked in shirt to pants that don't work looks ugly Mar 1, 2012 5:09 PM

177 yes Mar 1, 2012 5:08 PM

178 Yes Mar 1, 2012 5:08 PM

179 yes Mar 1, 2012 3:40 PM

86 of 156


180 Yes Mar 1, 2012 12:13 PM

181 yes - most of the time Mar 1, 2012 12:01 PM

182 Yes because it shows that Scouts still operate, but It kinda defeats thispurpose because people do not recognise that we are Scouts.

Mar 1, 2012 9:50 AM

183 yes, I am proud of the uniform and wear it even though it is not alwayscomfortable

Mar 1, 2012 9:08 AM

184 Fairly happy to wear it in public (more happy with others in uniform). I try tostick to shade and air conditioning otherwise it's a nice way to break a sweatwithout even trying. Seriously, they're way too hot for Queensland.

Mar 1, 2012 8:47 AM

185 I am happy to wear it public because I am proud to be apart of scouting Mar 1, 2012 7:50 AM

186 I am happy to wear mine in public. Mar 1, 2012 6:42 AM

189 Very proud to wear uniform in public. Mar 1, 2012 12:15 AM

190 No problem Feb 29, 2012 11:37 PM

191 yes Feb 29, 2012 9:39 PM

192 Scarf makes you feel a bit daggy Feb 29, 2012 9:37 PM

193 Just leave the uniform alone.. It was ok before and it not that bad now.Though it was better before.

Feb 29, 2012 9:26 PM

194 N/A Feb 29, 2012 9:26 PM

195 Yes. I am always proud o to wear my uniform Feb 29, 2012 9:15 PM

197 yes Feb 29, 2012 8:53 PM

198 Yes happy in public Feb 29, 2012 8:39 PM

199 I think the lack of a uniform pants makes the whole uniform look shabby.When everyone wears the same pants (ie. in Gangshow) its looks reallyslick.

Feb 29, 2012 8:18 PM

200 Yes, quite OK. Feb 29, 2012 8:09 PM

201 Happy to wear scout uniform in public but old was considerably morerecognisable therefore scouts were more noticable in public

Feb 29, 2012 8:03 PM

202 Yes. Feb 29, 2012 7:54 PM

203 Yes Feb 29, 2012 7:38 PM

204 yes I am happy Feb 29, 2012 7:04 PM

205 yes Feb 29, 2012 7:01 PM

206 Keep the white badge on labelling it as a scouts australia for the public toknow.

Feb 29, 2012 6:56 PM

207 yes Feb 29, 2012 6:31 PM

208 This uniform is easy and simple to wear in public. The navy uniform fightsthe stereotype of the old khaki uniforms and creates a newer and morepleasant image

Feb 29, 2012 6:18 PM

209 yes Feb 29, 2012 5:40 PM

210 Yes my children love to be seen in them :) Feb 29, 2012 5:16 PM

211 Yes Feb 29, 2012 4:58 PM

Feb 29, 2012 4:56 PM

213 yes very happy to wear it in public Feb 29, 2012 4:49 PM

214 yes Feb 29, 2012 4:41 PM

215 Am proud to wear my uniform neatly presented in public. Feb 29, 2012 4:39 PM

216 Yes. Feb 29, 2012 4:37 PM

217 Yes Feb 29, 2012 4:35 PM

220 My son loves it. Feb 29, 2012 4:17 PM

221 Yes, just need to get everyone to agree on the same colour of pants Feb 29, 2012 4:13 PM

222 yes Feb 29, 2012 4:13 PM

223 not really as it not really a uniform as it blends in with normal Cloths Feb 29, 2012 4:08 PM

224 A younger look Feb 29, 2012 4:05 PM

225 The uniform dont stand out to the publiv Feb 29, 2012 4:00 PM

226 Yes Feb 29, 2012 3:56 PM

227 I DONT LIKE WEARING MY UNIFORM IN PUBLIC, BUT I ALWAYS TELLPEOPLE THAT IM A SCOUT.

Feb 29, 2012 3:54 PM

228 I feel extremely proud to wear it in public. I even wore it to school once.Everyone was like...????

Feb 29, 2012 3:52 PM

229 i am fine Feb 29, 2012 3:50 PM

230 To be more uniform completely not just a shirt Feb 29, 2012 3:47 PM

88 of 156


231 I am happy to wear it in public Feb 29, 2012 3:46 PM

232 yes we wear it with pride. Just a shame that we had to go out of ourtraditional uniform

Feb 29, 2012 3:46 PM

233 If I was an adult in the uniform I would be too embarrassed to wear it inpublic. I think this is a reason parents dont participate as leaders. My 10yolikes it though.

Feb 29, 2012 3:26 PM

234 Oh yes......... Feb 29, 2012 3:24 PM

235 yes Feb 29, 2012 3:15 PM

236 yes Feb 29, 2012 3:14 PM

237 Yes Feb 29, 2012 3:04 PM

238 happy to wear the uniform in public. Feb 29, 2012 3:01 PM

239 Yes Feb 29, 2012 2:49 PM

240 Yes. But was happier in khaki. Looked far more presentable. clearly mostnot happy or embarrassed as it is so very optional now..

Feb 29, 2012 2:47 PM

241 yes Feb 29, 2012 1:58 PM

242 Yes. Feb 29, 2012 1:47 PM

243 Always proud as a scout Feb 29, 2012 1:27 PM

244 happy to wear in public Feb 29, 2012 1:21 PM

245 yes Feb 29, 2012 1:16 PM

246 yes although different material to make the shirts cooler would be nice Feb 29, 2012 12:42 PM

247 i personally have no issue wearing it in public, but a lot of the youth membersdo, i am unsure of why this is, but perhaps to do with the 'uncool' image inthe general population

Feb 29, 2012 12:20 PM

248 Yes I AM proud to wear my uniform in public. I feel it shows myresponsibility, being part of a world wide recognised and respected group.

Feb 28, 2012 9:09 PM

249 yes, I am happy to wear uniform in public Feb 28, 2012 8:56 PM

250 the pants colour - Feb 28, 2012 8:48 PM

251 Looks fine Feb 28, 2012 8:40 PM

252 Yes happy to wear it Feb 28, 2012 8:22 PM

253 yes Feb 28, 2012 7:55 PM

254 I am happy to wear it in public. I just think that it would be better for there tobe a uniform (pardon the pun) ruling for pants that works for most youthmembers. It looks horrid with half a dozen different styles of pants during anANZAC Day march, doesn't look presentable.

Feb 28, 2012 6:14 PM

255 yes Feb 28, 2012 4:19 PM

256 Happy to wear it in public Feb 28, 2012 1:27 PM

257 Yes. Feb 28, 2012 1:08 PM

258 It's ok. Feb 28, 2012 12:57 PM

259 Yes, I like wearing it. But we should have formal pants, for special occasions,Queen scout, rover dinner ect. Rest of the time it doesn't matter

Feb 28, 2012 12:40 PM

260 I'm not unhappy about wearing it in public as it is. Zip-off pants aren't mything - a bit gimmicky and un-necessarily complicated. I wear moleskins orkhaki King Gee work pants instead. My kids have child size khaki HardYakka pants and shorts that are half the price of the uniform pants.

Feb 28, 2012 12:14 PM

261 Yes, but I prefer to wear my leader's uniform over my Rover uniform becauseit is fitted and looks much nicer. Also, beige pants look aweful, and we do nothave women's pants. The unisex pants are painful to wear.

Feb 28, 2012 12:06 PM

262 I am happy to wear a scouting uniform in public, however, I would prefer thekhaki uniform which has a greater recognition by the public

Feb 28, 2012 11:44 AM

263 yes Feb 28, 2012 10:58 AM

264 She seem very happy Feb 28, 2012 10:50 AM

265 yes Feb 28, 2012 10:48 AM

266 Yes Feb 28, 2012 9:02 AM

267 Peer pressure from others at school, if they see you wearing it. Feb 28, 2012 8:38 AM

268 Yes Feb 28, 2012 8:25 AM

269 yes. Feb 28, 2012 8:07 AM

270 Yes Feb 28, 2012 8:01 AM

271 Yes Feb 28, 2012 8:00 AM

272 Yes. Feb 28, 2012 7:50 AM

273 Im fine wearing the uniform in public Feb 28, 2012 7:50 AM

274 Yes Feb 28, 2012 7:11 AM

275 No. The uniform is not distinctive (looks like a sports or motor racing shirt).Would prefer a traditional looking khaki uniform

Feb 28, 2012 5:44 AM

276 nothing Feb 28, 2012 5:15 AM

277 Leader shirts need section id, bring back epulettes so we can wear sectioncoloured tabs, go to a district or bigger event and its hard to tell sectionsapart, let alone the public telling us apart.

Feb 28, 2012 4:58 AM

278 yes, though trousers are unflattering for females Feb 27, 2012 11:46 PM

279 I am happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 27, 2012 11:44 PM

280 sure,but the current elastic waist style in FB sises look very,well,pov. I'vefound some workwear pants, in a stone colour that I think look much better,don't have the trakky dax look about them.

Feb 27, 2012 11:24 PM

281 Happy to wear it in public - proud of the uniform and the movement which itrepresents!

Feb 27, 2012 11:18 PM

282 Yes, always. Feb 27, 2012 10:34 PM

283 yes Feb 27, 2012 10:16 PM

284 Yes Feb 27, 2012 10:11 PM

285 As parent committee member even with A1 I wish we could wear somethingto be proud of in Public. T-Shirts are not approriate for many representations.

Feb 27, 2012 10:03 PM

286 yes Feb 27, 2012 10:01 PM

287 Yes Feb 27, 2012 9:56 PM

295 im proud to wear it in public, Feb 27, 2012 4:07 PM

296 Yes Feb 27, 2012 2:03 PM

297 happy to wear the uniform but HATE how it is worn in public - with nostructured or mandated bottom half - it looks like a hodge podge and doesnot reflect the pride we all had when we wore khaki

Feb 27, 2012 12:59 PM

298 yes Feb 26, 2012 7:18 PM

299 no its is to hot to wear in QLD Feb 26, 2012 3:53 PM

300 I am always happy to wear my uniform in public. Again the polo shirt is now"dressy" enough for formal occasions.

Feb 26, 2012 3:44 PM

301 Yes - I am happy to wear it in public. Feb 26, 2012 1:12 PM

302 yes Feb 26, 2012 8:35 AM

303 yea Feb 25, 2012 2:36 PM

91 of 156


304 I can wear it in public, however the old uniform I felt more proud to wear out.Now it just looks like a pizza shop boy with a few badges.

Feb 25, 2012 12:37 PM

305 No - looks sloppy with no official 'bottom' half. Feb 24, 2012 9:09 PM

306 Yes I'm proud to wear my uniform in public. Feb 24, 2012 5:48 PM

307 Yes! I am a Scout and proud of it!! Feb 24, 2012 4:10 PM

308 The kids do, but it does look shabby and they won't wear it on warmer, sunnydays as is too hot.

Feb 24, 2012 2:08 PM

309 Yes Feb 23, 2012 9:03 PM

310 i prefer not to wear it in public mostly because of other peoples attitudestowards scouts

Feb 23, 2012 6:27 PM

311 Yes Feb 23, 2012 5:27 PM

312 Haot Feb 23, 2012 4:08 PM

316 na Feb 23, 2012 9:51 AM

317 Yes. Feb 23, 2012 8:17 AM

318 yep yes to everything Feb 22, 2012 11:06 PM

319 I think they would be great if better fitted for females and didn't look soterribly faded after a few months.

Feb 22, 2012 9:35 PM

320 Yes Feb 22, 2012 7:01 PM

321 When I was younger wearing the uniform in public was abit embarrassing butnow I'm abit old I wore it with pride.

Feb 22, 2012 4:25 PM

322 1/ something recognizably Scout - not confused with anything else. 2/ madein Australia 3/ fabrics that launder well to "look smart" rather than un-ironedcasual.

Feb 22, 2012 4:16 PM

323 it is im pratical, idont really know Feb 22, 2012 4:14 PM

326 Yes Feb 22, 2012 12:33 PM

329 Yes Feb 22, 2012 8:25 AM

330 Sometimes, depends on the situation and the extra rules involved (publicperception of scouting and drinking, being loud ect)

Feb 22, 2012 8:24 AM

331 Yes Feb 22, 2012 8:15 AM

332 No, too many badges on the leader uniform Feb 22, 2012 7:23 AM

333 Yes Feb 22, 2012 7:14 AM

334 Yes Feb 22, 2012 6:41 AM

335 Yes often do! Feb 22, 2012 5:21 AM

336 proud Feb 21, 2012 10:41 PM

337 I don't have a problem with wearing the current scout uniform in public,because it is rear that someone recognizes it as a Scout uniform

Feb 21, 2012 10:23 PM

338 Yes Feb 21, 2012 10:20 PM

339 I feel dumb. Feb 21, 2012 10:16 PM

340 Yes Feb 21, 2012 8:54 PM

341 yes very proud Feb 21, 2012 7:46 PM

342 Yes Feb 21, 2012 6:41 PM

343 yes Feb 21, 2012 6:27 PM

344 yes Feb 21, 2012 5:00 PM

345 ok Feb 21, 2012 3:51 PM

346 If I was doing something scout related then yes, if not then no. It's toounflattering and uncomfortable to wear without a purpose.

Feb 21, 2012 3:32 PM

347 I would wear it in public more, but just find it too hot and sweaty. When youget sweaty with the dark color it dries levaing white stains on the backlooking really off, so I don't want to look like that so just don't wear it outmuch. If they can change it to a better uniform for wearing outside on hotterdays I probs would wear it more.

Feb 21, 2012 3:21 PM

348 I am happy to wear in public Feb 21, 2012 2:32 PM

349 Yes. They look really nice when worn properly Feb 21, 2012 1:10 PM

350 I don't mind wearing my uniform in public. I'm not proud of it though. I wasmuch more proud of wearing my old uniform in public. The colours areobnoxious and childish. And the blue makes us look like sea scouts. There isnothing cool or special about it any more like chords or epaulettes.

Feb 21, 2012 12:53 PM

351 No problem. Feb 21, 2012 12:34 PM

352 I am proud and happy to wear it in public. Feb 21, 2012 12:00 PM

353 NO as I don't like it, but would really like to wear a scout uniform when out. Ithink the multi colours is gay. My friends are in cadets and they have gooduniforms, why can't scouts have good uniforms we could wear on all thingsat all times and be proud of it? I'm ashamed to wear a multi coloured gayuniform, that has faded, looks terrible and all wrinkles up, the collar, pocketand stuff. I think scouts should have good looking uniforms we are notashmaed of then we would wear them all the time. I want to be out wearingmy scout uniform and showing Im a scout if it was good! Please fix it!

Feb 21, 2012 12:00 PM

354 The uniform is now a wash with loose standards, like no set pants, no setsocks, a "skater" belt. Having a brown leather belt was something to beproud of. I am not proud to wear my uniform in the company of otherbecause we rarely match.

Feb 21, 2012 10:22 AM

355 It depends, i'm happy to wear it say, on anzac day when it's appropiate orwhere it's practical (large group traveling, helps keep track of people likeventure), but if were wondering around town for the night with just a smallgroup then no, i'd prefer to wear casual. ii don't think you need to change theuniform, there are times that are appropriate and times where it doesn't.

Feb 21, 2012 9:56 AM

356 Yes Feb 21, 2012 9:32 AM

357 Yes and do. Feb 21, 2012 9:15 AM

358 Yes Feb 21, 2012 9:10 AM

359 Yes Feb 21, 2012 9:08 AM

360 I love wearing my uniform in public, just because I'm proud to be a Scout. Feb 21, 2012 8:33 AM

361 Yes I am Feb 21, 2012 8:31 AM

362 Yes, I am happy to wear the uniform in public. I would be proud if it wereduller colours, so the badges (eg. Queen's Scout) stood out, rather thanbeing lost on the uniform, or if it were such that passes by actually knew itwere a scout uniform.

Feb 21, 2012 7:39 AM

363 I think the uniform is to slack. The tshirts start to look daggy quickly and thensome have the button shirt and with there being no real rule on the bottoms,it means they all look different.

Feb 21, 2012 12:55 AM

364 I think the uniform looks good, i feel proud to wear it in public. But lightcoloured pants for cubs/scouts/etc? You have got to be kidding! or only foron parade? Why buy pants just for parade! Be practical, kids (and leaders)are going to get dirty from the bottom up, so navy would be very nice,thanks.

Feb 21, 2012 12:48 AM

365 Yes, but as mentioned before, we would really like to, but on sunny days,except in winter, due to youth members overheating in it and becominghyperthermic, we have had to ban its use for all daytime outside activities, itsjust too hot to wear except on the coolest days. Please give us a practicalcooler uniform we can all wear!

368 yes Feb 20, 2012 8:39 PM

369 I understand the importance of uniform so that is why I went to the expenseof getting cullottes made so that I felt comfortable yet conformed with theguidelines. Unless made mandatory I would never wear light coloured longpants. I have grey ones for formal occassions, but often I do look different tothe rest of the group I am with.

Feb 20, 2012 8:34 PM

370 Everytime we change the uniform the cost goes up, so don't change it again. Feb 20, 2012 8:30 PM

371 Yes, it looks nice and is better than the old one Feb 20, 2012 6:20 PM

372 While it's great that the youth uniforms stand out because of the colouredsleeves, I would be much more comfortable wearing uniform in public ifcolours were neutral.

Feb 20, 2012 6:12 PM

373 having the colour back to what it was we dont look like scouts anymore Feb 20, 2012 5:30 PM

374 Yes I am very happy to wear my Uniform in public. Feb 20, 2012 5:14 PM

375 I'm happy to wear it in public. Feb 20, 2012 4:30 PM

378 Yes Feb 20, 2012 3:08 PM

379 Happy to wear in public. Feb 20, 2012 3:05 PM

380 no, im still getting asked if im a scout. Civvies don't recognise the uniform Feb 20, 2012 2:56 PM

381 More flattering shape Feb 20, 2012 2:49 PM

382 People don't overly recognise the uniform as Scouts, looks too casual. I worethe old one in public with pride but tend to only put my shirt on once I get towhere I'm meant to be going (don't wear in the car on the way or on publictransport)

Feb 20, 2012 2:49 PM

383 something else Feb 20, 2012 2:40 PM

384 Yes....except that it is hot and fits badly....the issue is comfort more thananything.

Feb 20, 2012 11:38 AM

385 Yes Feb 20, 2012 11:23 AM

386 YES BUT I HATE NOT HAVING REGULATIONS ON THE PANTS should bea colour whatever and that way we look like a uniform

Feb 20, 2012 11:17 AM

387 yes Feb 20, 2012 11:03 AM

388 Yes I am happy to proudly wear the uniform in public Feb 20, 2012 10:37 AM

389 Yes, except for the scarf. Feb 20, 2012 9:30 AM

391 yes, if for a scouting purpose Feb 20, 2012 8:43 AM

392 no.it is incomplete without full trousers socks shoes etc. Feb 19, 2012 11:58 PM

393 Yea it's fine Feb 19, 2012 10:43 PM

394 Yes Feb 19, 2012 10:06 PM

395 I am happy to wear my uniform in public. Feb 19, 2012 8:52 PM

396 yes, but some mix us up with fire brigade etc, prfer old colour Feb 19, 2012 8:03 PM

397 yes Feb 19, 2012 7:45 PM

398 I am happy to wear it but think it looks too casual. I preferred the khaki. Feb 19, 2012 7:28 PM

399 Yes. Feb 19, 2012 6:23 PM

400 I don't like the uniform at all Feb 19, 2012 3:48 PM

401 yes Feb 19, 2012 3:45 PM

402 I'm fine to wear my uniform in public. Feb 19, 2012 3:26 PM

403 Yes, i would wear it everywhere if i could, but then it would be dirty for when ihad to wear it. The uniform is a great representation of Scouting in Australia,formal, yet practical.

Feb 19, 2012 12:51 PM

404 Yes Feb 19, 2012 11:07 AM

405 too many badges for adults, prefer a reasonably plain polo shirt Feb 19, 2012 9:53 AM

406 Yes Feb 18, 2012 9:41 PM

407 I am always pround to wear my uniform in public Feb 18, 2012 7:01 PM

408 no because its not nice to look at all you see is navy blue.we need brightercolours like orange,yellow or light blue

Feb 18, 2012 6:02 PM

409 yes, proud Feb 18, 2012 5:54 PM

410 Yes Feb 18, 2012 5:51 PM

411 yes Feb 18, 2012 5:01 PM

412 yes Feb 18, 2012 4:40 PM

413 yes Feb 18, 2012 3:52 PM

414 I am. Feb 18, 2012 2:29 PM

415 Yes Feb 18, 2012 2:14 PM

416 Yes. Just not the optional pants - they look odd on girls, the crotch is toolong, they are designed for boys.

Feb 18, 2012 2:09 PM

417 yes I am happy and proud to wear it Feb 18, 2012 12:38 PM

96 of 156


418 At special events but not normally. This is because scouts is inherentlyuncool and I need to keep what little cool I have.

Feb 18, 2012 11:29 AM

419 Yes, I am happy to wear my uniform in public. I have been around longenough to have worn the khaki uniform too. It's a part of being a Scout. If youare not proud of your uniform, why are you a Scout?

Feb 18, 2012 11:22 AM

420 Its fine Feb 18, 2012 10:46 AM

421 Yes I am if my sleeves were a bit longer - usually generates discussion as towhy we wear blue

Feb 18, 2012 10:01 AM

422 yes Feb 18, 2012 9:45 AM

423 Womens shirts Feb 18, 2012 8:54 AM

424 I am happy to wear it in public - noproblems at all Feb 18, 2012 8:35 AM

425 no, its hard to recognise that we are scouts. Feb 18, 2012 12:04 AM

426 yes Feb 17, 2012 10:40 PM

427 happy to. Feb 17, 2012 10:40 PM

428 I am happy to wear in public but not as proud to wear as the previousuniform, mainly due to not having pants specified and ends up looking verymismatched in a group.

Feb 17, 2012 10:07 PM

429 The sizing of the uniform and the pants. The type of pants and colour nolonger fit the type of shirt.

Feb 17, 2012 9:42 PM

430 yeah Feb 17, 2012 9:21 PM

431 Yes, I have no issues with wearing the uniform in public. Feb 17, 2012 8:48 PM

432 I am very happy to wear it in public Feb 17, 2012 8:22 PM

433 yes Feb 17, 2012 7:51 PM

434 Only at Official Scouting Events/Days/Functions/etc Feb 17, 2012 7:43 PM

435 Yes Feb 17, 2012 7:42 PM

436 Yes, very proud. Feb 17, 2012 7:36 PM

437 as long as it is worn correctly by all present Feb 17, 2012 7:30 PM

438 Yes, proud to be a scouter Feb 17, 2012 6:58 PM

439 ehh not heaps... to be honest i dont really like wearing it at all Feb 17, 2012 6:41 PM

440 No, it's really nerdy to be in scouts!! with all the badges and stuff, That is whywe should have a comfy, non-nerdy uniform that doesnt look so formal

Feb 17, 2012 6:34 PM

441 yes Feb 17, 2012 6:33 PM

442 happy to wear Feb 17, 2012 6:31 PM

443 Yes Feb 17, 2012 6:12 PM

444 Yer Feb 17, 2012 5:57 PM

445 Yeah I don't mind wearing it in public pageants, or on market stalls etc. Feb 17, 2012 4:47 PM

446 I don't like doing but I don't hate it Feb 17, 2012 4:24 PM

447 yes! Daughter is PROUD to be in uniform Feb 17, 2012 4:18 PM

448 yes Feb 17, 2012 3:40 PM

449 Yes, I like to wear a scout uniform to show I am a scout and would wear itmore if it was more practical to do so and wasn't so hot.

Feb 17, 2012 3:40 PM

450 Quite happy to wear uniform in public Feb 17, 2012 3:37 PM

451 No i dont want to where it in public cause its embarrasing Feb 17, 2012 3:32 PM

452 Yes Feb 17, 2012 3:15 PM

453 yes Feb 17, 2012 2:52 PM

454 It's ugly Feb 17, 2012 2:48 PM

455 Yes Feb 17, 2012 1:03 PM

456 yes Feb 17, 2012 12:19 PM

457 yes Feb 17, 2012 10:58 AM

458 yes Feb 17, 2012 9:32 AM

459 im proud to wear it, always have been. happy for people to see, it brings innew members, generates conversations

Feb 17, 2012 8:00 AM

460 Yes- a pity there are no bottoms Feb 17, 2012 7:53 AM

461 yes is fine to wear in public Feb 17, 2012 7:36 AM

462 no Feb 17, 2012 6:09 AM

463 Yes Feb 17, 2012 5:56 AM

464 Yes and proud. All of us should wear it more often in the community. Feb 16, 2012 11:34 PM

465 my son seems happy enough to wear his cub uniform out and about. Minorissue of his mum (me) putting badges in the 'wrong place'...

Feb 16, 2012 11:25 PM

466 The shirt on its own yes however not with the cream pants. They do not lookgood with a navy shirt and make it look sloppy and not put together well

Feb 16, 2012 11:08 PM

467 It would be alight if we didn't have to wear the scarf with it and if we Didn'thave to tuck it in

Feb 16, 2012 9:56 PM

468 yes Feb 16, 2012 9:52 PM

98 of 156


469 I wear my uniform proudly in public because it is my uniform. The sleevesshould be longer on the women's shirts. I get sunburnt. The material is toohot and gets scratchy. I still wear it proudly.

Feb 16, 2012 9:44 PM

470 Happy enough Feb 16, 2012 9:30 PM

471 I'm happy to wear it in public Feb 16, 2012 9:15 PM

472 With other Scouts, yes. It makes us stand out so not by myself Feb 16, 2012 9:08 PM

473 Fine to wear it out when appropriate Feb 16, 2012 9:01 PM

474 yes Feb 16, 2012 8:55 PM

475 yes Feb 16, 2012 8:51 PM

476 I'm happy to wear it in public. Feb 16, 2012 8:25 PM

477 Yes Feb 16, 2012 8:23 PM

478 yes Feb 16, 2012 8:21 PM

479 Yes, I'm perfectly happy to wear it. There's no reason to be ashamed ofbeing a scouting member.

Feb 16, 2012 8:02 PM

480 yes Feb 16, 2012 7:51 PM

481 I am happy Feb 16, 2012 7:21 PM

482 I'd rather not wear it in public because it stands out and I feel like people arelooking at me and judging me.

Feb 16, 2012 7:10 PM

483 yes Feb 16, 2012 7:06 PM

484 yes Feb 16, 2012 7:02 PM

485 I'd like the whole uniform to change back, but realise it won't happen. Kidssee Scouts as daggy and there is no brand identity. They used to identifyScouts with the military, and that was something that worked for us. Bygetting a bunch of people who didn't understand that to design somethingthat screamed 'youth', they totally screwed it up. General consensus is thatthe scarf is daggy. But the scarf is the only bit that still says Scouting,universally. I want the iScout brand teeshirts with something like the UKbranding as an additional activity shirt brought in across Australia - designedfor cool impact, not our boring and dated 'youth friendly' crap that Australiahas.

Feb 16, 2012 7:00 PM

486 Im a venture scout, the uniform is the same as the scouts only the colour, itseasy to recognize, only the colour is different, too everyone else my age"scouts are nerdy, for dorks and people who dont have lives. btw no beretsthey look shit. too military as well as its an old uniform before girls camealone. Times have changed why bring back scouting ways .

Feb 16, 2012 6:37 PM

487 Yes Feb 16, 2012 6:34 PM

488 Very happy to wear my uniform in public. My one gripe is that I believe thereshould be an agreed bottom half. I think without everyone wearing the same

Feb 16, 2012 6:33 PM

99 of 156


(at least in colour) pants, Scouts in the 'uniform' can look quite scrappy,particularly when some people wear jeans.

489 Yes Feb 16, 2012 6:31 PM

490 I think we should have a better hat Feb 16, 2012 6:04 PM

491 I am proud to wear my uniform in public - correctly worn, the current uniformlooks smart and is not militaristic whilst still being practical and easilyidentifiable.

Feb 16, 2012 5:47 PM

492 Shirt is fine, typically worn with jeans. Feb 16, 2012 5:41 PM

493 Yes, I am though. Although I absolutley despise the pants. Feb 16, 2012 5:34 PM

494 yes. Feb 16, 2012 5:31 PM

495 fine wearing it in public I like how the different sections are different coloursof the same shirt as it identifies all as one movement, but separates themslightly

Feb 16, 2012 5:25 PM

496 it's ok to wear in public but i would rather different coloured bottoms Feb 16, 2012 5:09 PM

497 Yes I think the new uniform is not embarassing, the colour is not asdisgusting as the khaki.

Feb 16, 2012 5:06 PM

498 I suppose i am. Feb 16, 2012 4:56 PM

499 the shirts blend in with everyone and no one recogonises who we are Feb 16, 2012 4:54 PM

500 Yes. There should be trousers as part of the uniform and also a hat. Amedium brim hat might be a good compromise between sun smart andbaseball caps worn backwards.

Feb 16, 2012 4:31 PM

501 yes Feb 16, 2012 4:28 PM

502 Yeah i am Feb 16, 2012 4:05 PM

503 nothing its demoralising wearing it in public because of the fat nerdy scoutswho disgrace it.

Feb 16, 2012 3:50 PM


505 Yes, always happy to wear it in public, although can I point out I was totallyagainst the changing of the uniform in the first place

Feb 16, 2012 3:29 PM

506 Yes. I would gladly wear it in public. Feb 16, 2012 3:27 PM

507 happy with it Feb 16, 2012 3:25 PM

508 The uniform is great...I am very proud to wear it in public and what itrepresents

Feb 16, 2012 3:07 PM

509 It's not so much the uniform, just more the general opinion of Scouts. Peopleeither love it, or hate it. Generally, anyone of Scout ages is totally against it,and i'm always getting complaints of people being teased about being aScout.

510 Old uniform was betttttter Feb 16, 2012 2:58 PM

511 I'm happy to wear it. (And just to add since I've already vented so much - Ithink it's ridiculous to assume that what the uniform looks like influenceswhether Scouts are happy to wear it in public. It's a uniform. It's part ofbeing a Scout. The public image of what Scouting is is going to influencewhether members feel comfortable wearing their uniform in public andtherefore being identified as Scouts. Not whether they can wear jeans withtheir uniform or not. Trying to make a 'popular' uniform is ridiculous and Ifind it really frustrating that that really seemed to be the motivation behindthe new uniform.)

Feb 16, 2012 2:51 PM

512 Always proud to wear it because am proud to be a scout Feb 16, 2012 2:34 PM

513 Absolutely Feb 16, 2012 2:32 PM

514 most definite yes. pity we did not have the same colour lower half though. Feb 16, 2012 2:21 PM

515 Yes Feb 16, 2012 2:19 PM

516 okay Feb 16, 2012 1:37 PM

517 Happy. Scouting Pride Feb 16, 2012 1:07 PM

518 yes Feb 16, 2012 12:49 PM

519 I'm fine with wearing the uniform in public Feb 16, 2012 12:47 PM

520 yes Feb 16, 2012 12:34 PM

521 i am very proud wearing the uniform in public. Feb 16, 2012 12:27 PM

522 yes Feb 16, 2012 12:26 PM

523 Yes, but my rover friends and i rarely wear the 'beige,tan,ivory' pants asthese are highly impractical as they get dirty far too easily.

Feb 16, 2012 12:20 PM

524 Yes I am happy to wear it in public. Feb 16, 2012 12:20 PM

525 sure Feb 16, 2012 12:01 PM

526 Yes, proud of it Feb 16, 2012 11:38 AM

527 yes Feb 16, 2012 11:31 AM

528 yes Feb 16, 2012 11:03 AM

529 yes, but wsh the pants (for WA were uniform dont like jeans) Feb 16, 2012 11:02 AM

530 YEs Feb 16, 2012 10:38 AM

531 yes, i'm a proud scouter always Feb 16, 2012 10:29 AM

532 Yes, I am happy to wear it in public. I think for the younger sections beingable to display their achieved cords properly - actually have a bit on theshoulder to put the cord through - would make them more proud to show offtheir uniform.

535 Yes. Feb 16, 2012 10:02 AM

536 yes. Feb 16, 2012 9:58 AM

537 I would wear it in public around other people wearing it, but seldom alone bychoice

Feb 16, 2012 9:55 AM

538 Yes Feb 16, 2012 9:53 AM

539 Yes. Because I am proud to be a scout. Feb 16, 2012 9:53 AM

540 yes Feb 16, 2012 9:45 AM

541 Nothing. i think the pants should change and leave the shirt as it is. Feb 16, 2012 9:41 AM

542 Yes I love wearing it in public Feb 16, 2012 9:28 AM

543 yes Feb 16, 2012 9:27 AM

544 No. I carry it to camps in a bag and do not wear it infront of the generalpublic. I got sick of people thinking I was trying to sell them something ormake them donate to something.

549 i am proud to wear it in public Feb 16, 2012 7:55 AM

550 Yes Feb 16, 2012 7:47 AM

551 Yes. Wanted to comment on the belt. It is impractical to have it ascompulsory when there are no compulsory pants. Many younger memberswear elastic waisted shorts or pants & they don't have belt keepers.

Feb 16, 2012 7:44 AM

552 yes Feb 16, 2012 7:41 AM

562 Yes Feb 15, 2012 11:29 PM

563 I am uncomfortable in my uniform. I am proud to wear it but the fabric is sothick, it's hot and difficult to move in.

Feb 15, 2012 11:12 PM

564 Happy for my son to wear it in public :-) Feb 15, 2012 11:11 PM

565 yes Feb 15, 2012 11:08 PM

567 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:59 PM

568 Yes, proud to wear it in public. The scarf makes it instantly recognisableeven though the shirt colour has changed

Feb 15, 2012 10:58 PM

569 yes Feb 15, 2012 10:52 PM

570 I m happy to wear the uniform in public i think its great as we stand out andwe show the public what scouts is all about when we wear it public onouttings

Feb 15, 2012 10:51 PM

571 I'm happy if I'm doing it for a purpose, however I believe that it lets down themovement as it looks unprofessional, especially the lack of authority over thepants and shoes.

Feb 15, 2012 10:46 PM

572 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:43 PM

573 Uniform pants. Feb 15, 2012 10:40 PM

574 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:32 PM

575 Most troops/units/etx dont wear the uniform properly and look like a bag ofdoodoo as a result. Uniform trousers or shorts should be mandatory.

Feb 15, 2012 10:29 PM

576 Mostly, better in a crowd than on your own. Feb 15, 2012 10:26 PM

577 yes Feb 15, 2012 10:25 PM

578 Happy and proud to Feb 15, 2012 10:17 PM

581 happy to wear it in public in most locations Feb 15, 2012 10:14 PM

582 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:11 PM

583 Bone pants are neither practical, nor readily available and those sold throughScouts are not suitable to all shapes of individuals! The dark green, denim or

black would be so much better

584 Happy to wear in public, However the bottom part needs to be sorted. Twocolour choices and basically wear 'wot-ever' is not uniform.

Feb 15, 2012 10:04 PM

585 Yes - Happy to wear in public. Feb 15, 2012 9:58 PM

586 Yeah generally it's OK Feb 15, 2012 9:58 PM

588 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:53 PM

589 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 9:48 PM

590 Yes, apart from the comfort factor Feb 15, 2012 9:48 PM

591 The uniform would look better if it didn't have a collar,also needs shorts (drill) The jersy fabric quickly looks ratty, you certaily could not hand a uniform onto someoneelse to wear. The kakie drill may not have been as cheap but itlasted forever.As a young Scout we may have looked like dad's army, but weall wore thee same and we were proud of the way we looked.

Feb 15, 2012 9:48 PM

592 yes Feb 15, 2012 9:42 PM

599 nothing Feb 15, 2012 9:33 PM

600 no problems with the uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 9:29 PM

601 Absolutely Feb 15, 2012 9:29 PM

602 The old uniform was more recognizable. Feb 15, 2012 9:25 PM

603 as a parent I do not wear it Feb 15, 2012 9:24 PM

604 Love wearing it in public Feb 15, 2012 9:20 PM

605 no Feb 15, 2012 9:20 PM

606 Nothing Feb 15, 2012 9:19 PM

607 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:19 PM

104 of 156


609 It's fine Feb 15, 2012 9:11 PM

610 I am happy to wear the uniform in public however as said previously it is a bituncomfortable for us larger figured women.

Feb 15, 2012 9:10 PM

611 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:09 PM

612 happy to wear it Feb 15, 2012 9:06 PM

613 Happy and proud to wear in public, though comments from others askingwho I belong to

Feb 15, 2012 9:03 PM

614 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:01 PM

615 Happy. Feb 15, 2012 9:01 PM

616 More proactive about media engagements to facilitate a positive publicimage.

Feb 15, 2012 8:59 PM

617 yes when i can get one that fits and also if i do not have to have the largewhite badge on it

Feb 15, 2012 8:56 PM

618 It is smart looking Feb 15, 2012 8:51 PM

619 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:50 PM

620 no problem wearing in public Feb 15, 2012 8:49 PM

621 Proud to wear in public Feb 15, 2012 8:48 PM

622 I'm happy too wear it in public but it no longer says 'scout' as the formerkhaki did.

Feb 15, 2012 8:43 PM

623 Yes I wear it to in the supermarket before and after Scouts regularly. I onlywear it on Scouting activities but quite a few of them are in public. Noproblems wearing it in front of the public.

Feb 15, 2012 8:41 PM

624 I don't like the fact ppl chan choose what colour pants they want to wear, it'sembarrassing as a district. Our group wear stone pants, we look the best inthe district because we all wear the same coloured pants.

Feb 15, 2012 8:37 PM

625 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:35 PM

626 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:28 PM

627 Yes Feb 15, 2012 8:25 PM

628 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:24 PM

629 Yes! I love to wear my full uniform in public. I would be more proud to wearmy uniform in public if other people wore theres more neatly & wellpresented (ie. correct shoes, pants, scarf ect.)

Feb 15, 2012 8:20 PM

630 i like wearing my uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 8:16 PM

631 Totally happy to wear my uniform wherever I am with my group. Feb 15, 2012 8:16 PM

105 of 156


632 No, it is embarrassing. I would prefer it if it was a different colour Feb 15, 2012 8:14 PM

633 It's fine Feb 15, 2012 8:12 PM


635 It's looks great Feb 15, 2012 8:06 PM

636 this is not a uniform, it ia SHIRT that everyone wears, pants/shorts and beltshould be compulsory

Feb 15, 2012 8:05 PM

637 Proud to wear it Feb 15, 2012 8:04 PM

638 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:58 PM

639 happy as it is the Scouting movement we are representing Feb 15, 2012 7:58 PM

640 Alot of people don't know the uniform these days so you don;t get recognitionfor what it is

Feb 15, 2012 7:56 PM

641 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:56 PM

642 It's not always recognisable as a scout uniform, I don't wear my uniform inpublic often but it depends on you are happy being and scout and showingthat.

Feb 15, 2012 7:56 PM

643 yes i am happy to wear it in public i always do!! Feb 15, 2012 7:55 PM

644 I'm proud to wear my uniform in public. Feb 15, 2012 7:53 PM

645 Very proud Feb 15, 2012 7:47 PM

646 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:47 PM

647 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:37 PM

648 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:37 PM

649 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 7:35 PM

650 It looks a little weird. There is too much going on with badges and otherdecorations. Draws too much attention

Feb 15, 2012 7:34 PM

651 yes, if a more traditional in appearance Feb 15, 2012 7:34 PM

652 happy Feb 15, 2012 7:33 PM

653 Yes, but the pants are not very nice. They make my butt look FAT becausethey are big up top, have the sippers half way down and taper in at thebottom. The zipper also chafes when it's hot. I never unzip the bottomsbecause the shorts are a stupid size and look weird with black shoes.

Feb 15, 2012 7:30 PM

654 I am happy to wear it in public. Feb 15, 2012 7:29 PM

655 I am pround to wear it in public. P.S. Keep up the good work. Bravo Feb 15, 2012 7:29 PM

656 Yes, however the old uniform showed a much greater pride in its wearers Feb 15, 2012 7:26 PM

106 of 156


and looked more official and presentable in public, while also attracting morefamilies to the movement.

657 Happy to where a Venturer Uniform in public, however i preferred the oldkhaki uniform. It was closer to the history of Scouts Australia, as a uniqueand special youth organisation. The navy blue uniform can feel like just somesports team

Feb 15, 2012 7:20 PM

658 Yes, although if they fit better, I would feel better in it. Feb 15, 2012 7:20 PM

659 Maybe better pants, it's annoying to have to wear the cream pants, if wecould wear jeans, or black pants or something else other than the creampants that would be good

Feb 15, 2012 7:19 PM


661 The design would not effect my tendency to wear it in public Feb 15, 2012 7:15 PM

662 Fit better, don't look as creased. Feb 15, 2012 7:15 PM

663 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

664 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

665 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

666 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

667 Yes I am. Feb 15, 2012 7:12 PM

668 I don't mind wearing my shirt and scarf in public at all but the 'stone coloured'pants are very out dated and do not at all look good with the shirt. The darknavy the sea scouts use give the uniform a simpler, more unified look.

Feb 15, 2012 7:12 PM

669 v happy to wear it in public Feb 15, 2012 7:11 PM

670 No. The public perception of scouting is still poor. However this means I doforce myself get out in uniform more to fix public perseption

Feb 15, 2012 7:10 PM

671 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:08 PM

672 Yes - I still believe we shouldn't have changed uniform - but I believe weblend in too much.

Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PM

673 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PM

674 I am happy to wear it in public Feb 15, 2012 7:04 PM

675 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:03 PM

676 i am proud to wear my uniform in public =D Feb 15, 2012 7:02 PM

677 yes I'm proud Feb 15, 2012 7:00 PM

678 Yes, but no one recognises it as a Scout uniform. Feb 15, 2012 6:54 PM

679 depends on the place. not really at shops or such because the uniform is Feb 15, 2012 6:50 PM

107 of 156


uncomfortable and should be a little bit more modern.

680 Yes and no...would prefer a more feminine pants option though. Feb 15, 2012 6:49 PM

681 yes im proud to wear it Feb 15, 2012 6:48 PM

682 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:46 PM

683 No, cos they look stupid. Feb 15, 2012 6:46 PM

684 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:44 PM

685 If at a scout event then yes, I wouldn't choose to wear it if the scoutconnection wasn't clear, I find that the full uniform can call a fair amount ofattention to an individual which can be undesirable at times. a less dressyversion (like unit shirts) would be less conspicuous.

Feb 15, 2012 6:43 PM

686 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:40 PM

687 If it fit in with what the public were Feb 15, 2012 6:40 PM

688 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:39 PM

689 No issue with wearing but not something that I really feel a great need to do Feb 15, 2012 6:38 PM

690 Happy Feb 15, 2012 6:37 PM

691 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:36 PM

693 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:31 PM

695 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:28 PM

696 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 6:28 PM

697 Yes I am happy to wear my uniform with pride. Feb 15, 2012 6:28 PM

698 As a parent I think everyone hold have to wear the same color bottoms Feb 15, 2012 6:27 PM

712 Yes Happy to wear in public Feb 15, 2012 6:18 PM

713 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:16 PM

714 no we are not all the same we need a standard colour below the belt 1colour no option and a workable one not bone

Feb 15, 2012 6:16 PM

715 semi-happy. fine with the shirt, dont like the scarf, dont feel its relevant today and doesnt seem necessary

Feb 15, 2012 6:14 PM

716 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:13 PM

717 Yes - much more happy to wear in public over the old uniform Feb 15, 2012 6:12 PM

718 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:12 PM

719 yea Feb 15, 2012 6:12 PM

720 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:11 PM

721 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:10 PM

722 Yes, but uncomfortable wearing it for longer periods of time during outingsand parades etc.

Feb 15, 2012 6:10 PM

723 Not the bone pants, see through, gets dirty very easily, can wash it but whenout u have to live with it

Feb 15, 2012 6:09 PM

731 I'm proud to be a scout and id wear my uniform anywhere Feb 15, 2012 6:05 PM

109 of 156


732 I never like to flaunt the fact that I am a scout.. but I don't mind the dark poloshirt at all, I believe that for what it is, it is quite modern and presentable. It isthe scarf I have the biggest issue with, it is the scarf that represents the'nerdy scout' in the punters mind, hence it is embarrassing to wear.

Feb 15, 2012 6:05 PM

733 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:04 PM

734 Yes, Feb 15, 2012 6:04 PM

735 No, Karkey uniform would make me proud to wear it in public. Not thecurrent uniform, if i have to wear it ti a formal function i will cover it untilprecedings then recover it after it has finished

Feb 15, 2012 6:04 PM

736 I am proud to wear it in public Feb 15, 2012 6:03 PM

737 Yes Feb 15, 2012 6:03 PM

738 I wear it proudly as I am proud of what we have achieved. I am not proud ofhow it is worn, or the lack of mandated pants which mean somesections/groups have allowed lycra and tracksuit pants

Feb 15, 2012 6:03 PM

739 yes i am Feb 15, 2012 6:02 PM

740 Yes! Feb 15, 2012 6:02 PM

741 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:01 PM

742 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:00 PM

743 Yes Feb 15, 2012 5:59 PM

744 Yes i am happy to wear it in public if i don't have to wear long socks with myshorts

Feb 15, 2012 5:59 PM

745 yes Feb 15, 2012 5:58 PM

746 no because you stand out and people point Feb 15, 2012 5:57 PM

747 I am happy to wear my uniform in public when my shirt is not tucked in. As Isaid in my previous answer tucking my shirt in makes me feel uncomfortable.

Feb 15, 2012 5:56 PM

748 Sometimes Feb 15, 2012 5:55 PM

749 Yes 100% Feb 15, 2012 5:39 PM

750 Yes! Feb 15, 2012 5:35 PM

751 For it to fit better Feb 15, 2012 5:32 PM

110 of 156


756 Yes Feb 15, 2012 5:22 PM

757 Yes Feb 15, 2012 5:22 PM

758 yes, because it is a great movement to belong to Feb 15, 2012 5:13 PM

759 yes Feb 15, 2012 5:13 PM

760 not really as it's pretty boring - especially the leader shirt. it's just blue andboring and not really recognized as scouting easily. i am proud to wear myrover one out though.

Feb 15, 2012 5:09 PM

761 YES ..... I am proud to be a scout & have no issues with wearing this inpublic!

Feb 15, 2012 5:08 PM

762 Yes Feb 15, 2012 5:07 PM

763 Proud to wear it, but as a Venturer Leader I have noticed that its common forkids to wear their scarfs shoved in their pockets, hanging out.

Feb 15, 2012 5:02 PM

764 yes Feb 15, 2012 5:00 PM

765 needs to be a comfier more relaxed material Feb 15, 2012 4:57 PM

766 Womens size or shape pants Feb 15, 2012 4:57 PM

767 Yes Feb 15, 2012 4:54 PM

768 Yes I would, and do wear it in public. Feb 15, 2012 4:53 PM

769 i would be happy to wear it in the public Feb 15, 2012 4:53 PM

770 The current uniform is not recognized by the general public well at all Feb 15, 2012 4:49 PM

771 Yes, because I am proud to be a scout, and need to set an example foryounger sections

Feb 15, 2012 4:43 PM

772 Yes Feb 15, 2012 4:40 PM

773 A uniform pants for all the sections. Feb 15, 2012 4:40 PM

774 Yes Feb 15, 2012 4:40 PM

775 yes he is Feb 15, 2012 4:38 PM

776 I would much prefer to wear non-uniform clothes in public.This is becausewhen walking with a bunch of fellow ventures all wearing the exact samething, un-needed attention is drawn to us. When our unit goes out in publicwe generally prefer to wear our shirts unbuttoned (with an under-shirt), withno scarf. This makes us seem less formal and suggests we are a casualgroup of friends.

Feb 15, 2012 4:38 PM

777 O.K. for public use Feb 15, 2012 4:37 PM

778 I'm happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 4:25 PM


111 of 156


780 yes but would have prefered to keep the old khaki Feb 15, 2012 4:18 PM

781 when im not wearing the pants its fine Feb 15, 2012 4:16 PM

782 I love wearing my uniform in public. It gives me a sense of belonging. I alsofrom time to time get compliments from the general public about thecommunity work Scouting do. But at the same sime I do not enjoy it as somemembers of the general public are ruse, tease and pick on you all becauseyou're apart of the Scouting movement.

Feb 15, 2012 4:15 PM

783 Happy. I think the beige pants look silly but I guess that's better then wearinga dark colour in Australia.

Feb 15, 2012 4:14 PM

784 happy Feb 15, 2012 4:14 PM

785 Yes Feb 15, 2012 4:14 PM

786 Yes I am happy to wear it in public. However, some of the public confuseScouts with Guides because our uniforms are now the same colour.

Feb 15, 2012 4:11 PM

787 i am happy but i don't like the pants Feb 15, 2012 4:10 PM

788 yes Feb 15, 2012 4:07 PM

789 I do feel embarrassed.. I would say it's mainly the pants/shorts. I feel like thedark colour should be on the bottom, and the lighter colour on top. And I feellike the pants are too baggy, and the shorts are too long. And they never fitme properly - if I get them to fit me in length, then they always fall down andlook extra baggy. The waist is probably too high.

Feb 15, 2012 4:07 PM

790 yes Feb 15, 2012 4:06 PM

791 In Europe yes, in Australia seems to be a culture thing on Scout Uniforms. Ifthey were black coolmax in the main body with hightlights for scout sectionwith 2 pockets then believe it will 'blend" in to society in conjunction withscarf of course.

Feb 15, 2012 4:06 PM

792 Yes, I am proud to be a member of Scouting. Feb 15, 2012 4:03 PM

793 It is ok to wear in public however I often have to explain that it is a uniformfor scouts as people are still after over 5 years used to the khaki uniform. It isalso difficult to feel proud in the uniform when I wear it with jeans, leave ituntucked etc. I would feel more pride to wear it as I did the older styleuniform buttomed up, with proper uniform pants all neat and tidy, beltdisplayed etc.

Feb 15, 2012 4:03 PM

794 No probs Feb 15, 2012 3:56 PM

795 No, I often wore my Khaki one in public, at this point in time, I wear normalclothes to events, put my shirt on over what I am wearing for the requiredamount of time and then back to my normal clothes.

Feb 15, 2012 3:55 PM

796 i hate wearing it in public. the shirts arent so bad. but the pants are terrible.dont fit the girls properly! just an ugly match

Feb 15, 2012 3:52 PM

797 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:51 PM

112 of 156


798 Uniform in formal public events like ANZAC Day is fine but prefer to wear amore casual shirt for everyday activities.

Feb 15, 2012 3:51 PM

799 yes, but not because of what it looks like. I'm proud to represent the scoutingmovement even if i were wearing a frilly leotard.

Feb 15, 2012 3:46 PM

800 yes Feb 15, 2012 3:39 PM

801 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:37 PM

802 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:25 PM

803 no i dont like the design Feb 15, 2012 3:23 PM

804 I don't wear the uniform in public mainly because you stick out to much andthe stereotyped stigma that comes with being in Scouts or Venturer althoughuntrue

Feb 15, 2012 3:22 PM

805 I love uniform style just the shirts are to small Feb 15, 2012 3:20 PM

806 yes Feb 15, 2012 3:20 PM

807 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:16 PM

808 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:14 PM

809 yes Feb 15, 2012 3:14 PM

810 Absolutely, I'm proud to wear it. I do feel it is an issue however that severalyears after the change of uniform people outside of the movement still do noteasily recognise us as scouts.

Feb 15, 2012 3:14 PM

811 I have been happy to wear my uniform in public ever since i lhad a littlegreen cub hat.

Feb 15, 2012 3:11 PM

812 yes Feb 15, 2012 3:08 PM

813 Yes Feb 15, 2012 3:06 PM

814 yes, but as previously stated it could be less heavy, as wearing it for a longperiod is uncomfortable when inside or outside in heat, as it does notbreathe.

Feb 15, 2012 3:06 PM

815 yes Feb 15, 2012 3:01 PM

816 Yes Feb 15, 2012 2:59 PM

817 yes Feb 15, 2012 2:58 PM

818 Not unless at an event Feb 15, 2012 2:53 PM

819 I am happy to wear it anywhere Feb 15, 2012 2:48 PM

820 yes Feb 15, 2012 2:44 PM

821 I'm already extremely proud wearing it in public. Feb 15, 2012 2:44 PM

113 of 156


822 i dont wear it causally in public, but if an event requires it i dont have aproblem. generally most scouts dont mind as long as they're in a group

Feb 15, 2012 2:38 PM

823 yes. Feb 15, 2012 2:36 PM

824 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 2:36 PM

825 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 2:36 PM

826 Somewhat proud. The layour of the previous uniform allowed for betterdisplay of achievements & easier identification of who you are & what you do/ have done. ALso the undefined lover section (i.e. no 'compulsory' pants)means that the overall uniformity is lost, making it look messy.

Feb 15, 2012 2:33 PM

827 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 2:32 PM

828 yes Feb 15, 2012 2:31 PM

829 Yes!! Feb 15, 2012 2:26 PM

830 I have no problem wearing the uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 2:24 PM

831 YES! Feb 15, 2012 2:24 PM

832 I am happy to wear the uniform in public... Its the image the public has whichis the problem

Feb 15, 2012 2:24 PM

833 yes i am Feb 15, 2012 2:13 PM

834 I am happy to wear my uniform in public, so long as i am with others also inuniform.

Feb 15, 2012 2:08 PM

835 I an always happy to wear my uniform in public. Feb 15, 2012 2:08 PM

836 I like to wear the uniform in public, if others are also Feb 15, 2012 2:06 PM

837 yes Feb 15, 2012 1:58 PM

838 Yes happy to wear it in public as I am proud of the organization not the shirt!! Feb 15, 2012 1:55 PM

839 I am proud to wear my uniform however it can be impractical under certaincircumstances such as fundraising bbq's, etc. I also think there needs to besome sort of identification as to a leaders section mainly as it specifies whatsection they specialise in.

Feb 15, 2012 1:50 PM

840 A complete uniform. Shirt, pants/shorts, socks, belt, hat and scarf. Feb 15, 2012 1:32 PM

841 yes the shirts are much more easier to wear in public then the last ones Feb 15, 2012 1:28 PM

842 I would be more comfortable in my uniform if it fit me (need female rovershirts!)

Feb 15, 2012 1:25 PM

843 yeah Feb 15, 2012 1:16 PM

844 Yes Feb 15, 2012 1:13 PM

845 I am happy to wear my uniform in public and I was happy to wear the old one Feb 15, 2012 1:13 PM

114 of 156


too!

846 No. It is not formal enough and looks like it would be a camp style uniform. Feb 15, 2012 1:10 PM

847 YES Feb 15, 2012 1:09 PM

848 Yes Feb 15, 2012 1:07 PM

849 Yes Feb 15, 2012 1:01 PM

850 Yes Feb 15, 2012 12:58 PM

851 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:58 PM

852 yes very Feb 15, 2012 12:53 PM

853 yes, I am happy to wear it out in public, Feb 15, 2012 12:50 PM

854 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:41 PM

855 Yes Feb 15, 2012 12:41 PM

856 no I'm not, the necky and the pants are embarrassing Feb 15, 2012 12:39 PM

857 Yes - it's starting to become more recognised so it's great to wear out Feb 15, 2012 12:37 PM

858 I am happy to wear the uniform in public. Feb 15, 2012 12:33 PM

859 Image of scouting in general makes me uncomfortable wearing the uniformwhen not with other scouts

Feb 15, 2012 12:31 PM

860 Yes Feb 15, 2012 12:29 PM

861 Yes and no. Yes, because I'm proud to be a part of Scouts Australia, nobecause every time I do, people ask me what the uniform is.

Feb 15, 2012 12:25 PM

862 Yes - happy to wear shirt - but beige pants are not flattering on all people.And for Joeys - not the best colour

Feb 15, 2012 12:25 PM

863 i am happy to wear uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 12:24 PM

864 Generally yes except that I dislike the light coloured pants. Feb 15, 2012 12:21 PM

865 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:17 PM

866 nothing Feb 15, 2012 12:17 PM

867 I would like it if the badge size was reduced and that the badges did notcover the whole uniform

Feb 15, 2012 12:16 PM

868 It just does not sit well. I would be more than happy to wear a fitted shirtversion instead.

Feb 15, 2012 12:15 PM

869 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:13 PM

870 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:08 PM

115 of 156


871 Happy to wear in public as I was with all previous styles of the uniform Feb 15, 2012 12:07 PM

872 Happy to wear it in public. Even though I LOVED the old uniform Feb 15, 2012 12:03 PM

873 Yes Feb 15, 2012 12:00 PM

874 Yes I do all the time. Feb 15, 2012 11:59 AM

875 yes Feb 15, 2012 11:58 AM

876 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 11:53 AM

877 Yes Feb 15, 2012 11:52 AM

878 Perfectly happy Feb 15, 2012 11:51 AM

879 I'd be happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 11:48 AM

880 I am happy to wear it in public, if for a purpose. Feb 15, 2012 11:47 AM

881 Yes Feb 15, 2012 11:43 AM

882 Happy to wear in public. Feb 15, 2012 11:43 AM

883 happy Feb 15, 2012 11:42 AM

884 I will wear my uniform in public if I have to, but I do prefer not to. This isbecause it is an incredibly unflattering design.

Feb 15, 2012 11:40 AM

885 I am more than happy to wear uniform in public when appropriate, I alwaysfeel proud about being seen as a Scout in uniform.

Feb 15, 2012 11:39 AM

886 yes. except the scarf. Feb 15, 2012 11:38 AM

887 since finnishing school i am fine wearing the uniform in public however atschool due to bulling and the atempt to fit in i was nt very keen on wearing itparticualy the scarf

Feb 15, 2012 11:38 AM

888 I used to be with the old uniform because eveyone looked the same. Nowthat only the shirt is required, people wear all sorts of shorts and pants and ithink it looks messy and has lost alot of class.

Feb 15, 2012 11:38 AM

889 Yes as long as we don't have to tuck in the shirts Feb 15, 2012 11:31 AM

890 Yes. Feb 15, 2012 11:30 AM

891 yes Feb 15, 2012 11:26 AM

892 I am happy. I was happy in the old uniform. I recognise I'm a traditionalistand I liked the heritage that i saw in the uniform. However, if scouts oz isgoing to lose members because of it, then I would rather stay with a moremodern design.

Feb 15, 2012 11:26 AM

893 I am happy to wear the uniform in public, there is a lack of knowledge ofwhat pants/jeans one should wear, cream pants for cubs? uh - no..

Feb 15, 2012 11:25 AM

894 yeah the uniform is fine and distinctive Feb 15, 2012 11:24 AM

116 of 156


895 Yes happy to wear in public - it looks good. Feb 15, 2012 11:20 AM

896 Yes Feb 15, 2012 11:15 AM

897 I am happy to wear it in public. Feb 15, 2012 11:15 AM

898 I wear it cause i have to - It would be nice to have a more fitted shirt Feb 15, 2012 11:12 AM

899 Initially I was initially a bit hesitant to wear it in public, but after a while I gotused to the idea and it was nowhere near as intimidating as I thought itwould be. My initial hesitance to wear it in public was not to do with thedesign, but rather the perception people might have of scouting.

Feb 15, 2012 11:08 AM

900 Yes Feb 15, 2012 11:07 AM

901 Yes. I don't think the uniform needs changing, more just the general publicimage of Scouting. Too much marketing is focused on Scouting as achildren's association - it is not seen as something that is relevant forteenagers and young adults and I think that this image makes peopleunhappy to wear it in public. Although I am proud of it I do feel consciousabout it.

Feb 15, 2012 11:03 AM

902 Um No. it's not the sort of uniform that normal people would wear, and like Isaid about the shape of them, it's actually embarressing.

Feb 15, 2012 11:02 AM

903 yes Feb 15, 2012 10:55 AM

904 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:53 AM

905 more than happy (proud even) to wear in public. Feb 15, 2012 10:47 AM

906 I'm happy to wear it at events, but wouldn't wear it otherwise Feb 15, 2012 10:41 AM

907 yes, i was proud wearing the old uniform, just as proud in the new one Feb 15, 2012 10:39 AM

908 The uniform is wearable in public, but I am often mistaken for a girl guide,despite my distinct group scarf and scouting badges. The old uniform lookedmuch more professional and was instantly recognizable. The lack of uniformrules on pants also makes the uniform lack professionalism.

Feb 15, 2012 10:38 AM

909 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:36 AM

910 Yes Feb 15, 2012 10:34 AM

911 I am happy to wear it in public Feb 15, 2012 10:27 AM

912 i'm proud to wear it!! Feb 15, 2012 10:24 AM

913 Happy to wear it Feb 15, 2012 10:23 AM

914 Occasionally. Feb 15, 2012 10:20 AM

915 yes. Feb 15, 2012 10:20 AM

916 i dont like wearing the uniform in public as it is too big on me and looksrediculous. If it was done in smaller sizes, ladies sizes also, would be better.Doesn't need to be fitting, but it needs to fit.

Feb 15, 2012 10:18 AM

117 of 156


917 Yes I am happy Feb 15, 2012 10:13 AM

918 I love to wear my uniform in public. Feb 15, 2012 10:07 AM

919 I would wear them in public. Feb 15, 2012 10:03 AM

920 If it fitted properly Feb 15, 2012 9:57 AM

921 Yes. Scout and proud! I know I have had amazing opportunities, and I amnot ashamed to be a part of an organisation that has done that for me.

Feb 15, 2012 9:53 AM

922 Yes I am, as long as everyone one else is wearing FULL uniform, and not aselection of pants. Especially in ANZAC day parades when you seemembers in their board shorts!

Feb 15, 2012 9:51 AM

923 Yes we are already happy with the uniform - it looks smart Feb 15, 2012 9:47 AM

924 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:46 AM

925 yes Feb 15, 2012 9:39 AM

926 yes Feb 15, 2012 9:38 AM

927 There is cultural respect for scouting any more. Feb 15, 2012 9:37 AM

928 My uniform drowns on me and it is all smaller sizes, i would wear in it publicbut would be wanting to honestly change after a while.

Feb 15, 2012 9:35 AM

929 I wear it proudly. But the recognition isn't the same. There are people I'vemet who thought scoring closed down because the uniforms weren't seen

Feb 15, 2012 9:35 AM

930 Most kids don't want to wear anything that makes them stand out (neither domost adults, if you walk down any street at 8.30 in the morning), so wearingthe unifrom at a scout do (when everyone is the same) is significantlydifferent than wearing it in 'public'. Changing the design won't make thatbetter (human nature isn't affected by a design change). I find it interestingthat what scouts 'do' is 'cool' but what they wear is not. Having said that, myson couldn't wait to be a part of the group by fitting in with a uniform.Butwould he wear that anywhere else - hardly. So changing the uniform to helppeople feel better in public is really a waste of time. Changing it because itdoesn't fit or because it itches or because some 5 year old was exploited tomake it is ok.

Feb 15, 2012 9:33 AM

931 happy to wear it. Feb 15, 2012 9:31 AM

932 yes Feb 15, 2012 9:30 AM

933 yes but need some uniform pants to go with it for formal events Feb 15, 2012 9:29 AM

934 Yes. Lack of consistent trouser/pants is a big let-down (looks messy witheveryone different).

Feb 15, 2012 9:24 AM

935 Yes Feb 15, 2012 9:17 AM

936 the shirt is good, pants are a horrible colour and fit Feb 15, 2012 9:15 AM

937 yes Feb 15, 2012 9:15 AM

118 of 156


938 more money.. Feb 15, 2012 9:13 AM

939 Yes, I happily wear it in public. Feb 15, 2012 9:00 AM

940 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:59 AM

941 Yes, I was more proud of the Kaki one though Feb 15, 2012 8:57 AM

942 Yes, happy to wear in public. Feb 15, 2012 8:53 AM

943 Yes Feb 15, 2012 8:53 AM

944 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:52 AM

945 yeah, they're great to wear in public, though having no set pants is annoying,as it makes us look less resectable by wearing whatever we/our groups feellike

Feb 15, 2012 8:51 AM

946 Yes, though I hate the pants. They are very uncomfortable. Feb 15, 2012 8:50 AM

947 I am very proud to be part of the scouting movement, its just people on thestreets still think that its not cool to be a member or anything

Feb 15, 2012 8:50 AM

948 No. the uniform is awful in design clashing colour etc. porud = old uniform Feb 15, 2012 8:49 AM

949 Id be a lot happier to wear it in public if it was khaki Feb 15, 2012 8:46 AM

950 Uniforms generally are much less worn in public. It used to be that off-dutypolice and the military particularly would wear uniform to and from work.This practice is just about dead, so any uniform wearing really stands out.

Feb 15, 2012 8:44 AM

951 I am always proud to wear my uniform in public. But I am embarrassed whenin a large group and everyone has different coloured shorts/pants on.

Feb 15, 2012 8:44 AM

952 yes Feb 15, 2012 8:38 AM

953 yes i am proud to wear my uniform in public. when I was younger I was moreshy, but being an adult I care less what other children think. I always admirea younger scout that is proud to wear their uniform in public.

Feb 15, 2012 8:30 AM

954 Is fine Feb 15, 2012 8:20 AM

955 The old uniform was better, as it was known. People don't know who we are.The cream pants look ridiculous- perhaps pants should be specified asanything blue denim?

Feb 15, 2012 8:16 AM

956 happy Feb 15, 2012 8:09 AM

957 yes if the full uniform is worn not mis match which looks untidy in publicUniform when worn must be worn with pride

Feb 15, 2012 8:09 AM

958 i prefer the old khaki one personally but i still wear the new one in public Feb 15, 2012 8:08 AM

959 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:56 AM

960 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:50 AM

961 yes Feb 15, 2012 7:47 AM

962 Yes, I am very happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 15, 2012 7:44 AM

963 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:32 AM

964 I like wearing my uniform in public. It's obvious I'm a member of scouting andwhat section I'm in.

Feb 15, 2012 7:27 AM

965 Yep Feb 15, 2012 7:24 AM

966 Yes Feb 15, 2012 7:16 AM

967 I wear it proudly in public, happily Feb 15, 2012 7:15 AM

968 I'm happy Feb 15, 2012 7:12 AM

969 Happy Feb 15, 2012 7:08 AM

970 Happy to wear the shirt although coming up with trousers that look neat towear with it is difficult.

Feb 15, 2012 7:02 AM

971 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:58 AM

972 eh Feb 15, 2012 6:56 AM

973 yes Feb 15, 2012 6:45 AM

974 I wear mine in public, doesn't bother me Feb 15, 2012 6:36 AM

975 I have no issues wearing my uniform in public. Feb 15, 2012 6:35 AM

976 Used to be. Since the change to the new uniform there are severalbusinesses and sporting clubs that we resemble.

Feb 15, 2012 6:34 AM

977 Yes happy to wear in public Feb 15, 2012 6:32 AM

978 I am more than happy to wear my uniform in public, however most peoplestill have no idea what you are when wearning the new uniform.

Feb 15, 2012 6:12 AM

979 Always wear it in public. Don't even notice I have it on. Feb 15, 2012 6:11 AM

980 I am happy to wear my correctly sized women's fit uniform in public. I amunhappy wearing the rover uniform in public as it does not come in women'ssizes

Feb 15, 2012 5:58 AM

981 Absolutely. Feb 15, 2012 5:56 AM

982 yes scouts are reconised by their uniform Feb 15, 2012 5:52 AM

983 Yes Feb 15, 2012 5:51 AM

984 yes Feb 15, 2012 5:19 AM

985 Yeah I am happy to wear it out, it is neat and tidy when pressed Feb 15, 2012 4:57 AM

986 I'm happy. Feb 15, 2012 4:32 AM

120 of 156


987 Somewhat. Not easily identifiable without scarf. Prefer to use crew/grouppolicy on presentation..

Feb 15, 2012 12:18 AM

988 yes Feb 15, 2012 12:10 AM

989 Happy I wear in public. It stands out. Preferred old uniform elements such asepaulets and berets.

Feb 15, 2012 12:00 AM

990 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 11:35 PM

991 yes Feb 14, 2012 11:32 PM

992 yes Feb 14, 2012 11:32 PM

993 Happy to Wear Uniform in public, Feb 14, 2012 11:28 PM

994 Yes Feb 14, 2012 11:24 PM

995 Not enough association with the blue and section colours for the community.They still think we wear kakie

Feb 14, 2012 11:22 PM

996 Yes Feb 14, 2012 11:21 PM

997 yep Feb 14, 2012 11:20 PM

998 Uniform is great - very recogniseable Feb 14, 2012 11:13 PM

999 Happy to wear in public, but I believe that many in the public do notrecognise it as easily as the old uniform.

Feb 14, 2012 11:09 PM

1000 yes but it would be nice to have some kind of indicator of what section youare in for the leaders uniform! similar to the youth members uniform.

Feb 14, 2012 11:00 PM

1001 Yes I am and have worn it to fundraisers, parades and flag ceremonies in thecity and in my local area. For people not wanting to wear it in public, I thinkthat this would have to do mostly with peer pressure, especially from youthmembers in the Scout/Venturer sections. I am not embarrassed as I thinkabout all the things I have done through Scouting, the experiences, and Iknow that I wouldn't have done even half of them if it were not for myparticipation in Scouting, and for that, I am very grateful. If anything amproud to wear the uniform. It has helped shape the person I am today.*Sorry if it sounds a bit cheesy! :s

Feb 14, 2012 11:00 PM


1003 Happy when other rovers are doing the same. Otherwise it is because of theyoung public's view on scouting.

Feb 14, 2012 10:53 PM

1004 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 10:52 PM

1005 See 4 Feb 14, 2012 10:52 PM

1006 I'm fine with it Feb 14, 2012 10:48 PM

1007 Making sure that all district made it a standard the there be no jeans allowed.

1017 yes Feb 14, 2012 10:18 PM

1018 yes Feb 14, 2012 10:15 PM

1019 yes... Feb 14, 2012 10:10 PM

1020 There needs to be a set guideline as to the colour of the pants/ skirt. Theskirt, whatever colour it is should also be standardised. there needs to be anindication as to what section a leader is in charge of, like the epiliets on theold uniform.

Feb 14, 2012 10:03 PM

1021 yes very proud to wear my shirt in public Feb 14, 2012 10:00 PM

1022 yes Feb 14, 2012 9:59 PM

1023 SCOUTS AND PROUD! Feb 14, 2012 9:59 PM

1024 I've worn it in public without a problem Feb 14, 2012 9:54 PM

1025 Yes Feb 14, 2012 9:50 PM

1026 No different to wearing anything else - and the number of people who willtalk to you while your wearing it as well.

Feb 14, 2012 9:50 PM

1027 More than happy to, and do so regularly. Feb 14, 2012 9:48 PM

1028 No problems Feb 14, 2012 9:48 PM

1029 Happy to wear it. Feb 14, 2012 9:47 PM

1030 Yes I am happy. Feb 14, 2012 9:47 PM

1031 yes but we need only 1 shert and to be cheeper Feb 14, 2012 9:46 PM

1032 yes - except people don't realise it a scout uniform We also need to have acomplete uniform (pants) and not just the shirts.

Feb 14, 2012 9:45 PM

1033 I wear mine in public all the time! Feb 14, 2012 9:44 PM

122 of 156


1034 Most of the time. Feb 14, 2012 9:44 PM

1035 yes Feb 14, 2012 9:44 PM

1036 Yes, it is fine. Feb 14, 2012 9:43 PM

1037 yes Feb 14, 2012 9:43 PM

Feb 14, 2012 9:36 PM

1041 Yes, very happy and proud. Feb 14, 2012 9:36 PM

1042 Yes I am Happy to wear it, However I would be prouder to wear it if was a fulland correct uniform that i see other wearing as well, not half done with jeansrunners, generic baseball cap.

Feb 14, 2012 9:34 PM

1043 No it is crap when compared with the old unifirm and the public has norecognition of it the old one we were recognised straight away which wasfree PR

Feb 14, 2012 9:26 PM

1044 I am proud to wear my uniform in public. It advertises the section i'm in andhow much i have achieved.

Feb 14, 2012 9:23 PM

1045 Yes happy to wear it in public, proud to wear the uniform, but would be betterif all was more formal and less hot in the sun as I said earlier. Scouts needsa more practical, but more formal uniform, so we really look like scouts, onan adventure! A polo shirt is not a uniform and is more casual. we needproper moer formal type uniforms I think.

Feb 14, 2012 9:22 PM

1046 i'm very proud to wear it in public. Feb 14, 2012 9:15 PM

1047 Yes Feb 14, 2012 9:12 PM

1048 no fucking way. its gay as aids Feb 14, 2012 9:10 PM

1049 yes Feb 14, 2012 9:09 PM

1050 yes Feb 14, 2012 9:07 PM

1051 Mostly, however I find the pants colour inpractical Feb 14, 2012 9:07 PM

1052 I am happy to wear the uniform in public. Feb 14, 2012 9:07 PM

1053 I am proud to wear the uniform in public. Feb 14, 2012 9:06 PM

1054 Yes i don't mind wearing it! Feb 14, 2012 9:03 PM

1055 im not really proud to wear it in public as it is a bit embarrassing but thedesign is pretty sick

Feb 14, 2012 8:59 PM

1056 I would be. compared to the guides shirt (formal striped one) it is much nicer.I prefer the polo that guides wear now though as it doesnt require ironing...

Feb 14, 2012 8:59 PM

123 of 156


Scout shirt is more durable

1057 yes Feb 14, 2012 8:57 PM

1058 Happy Feb 14, 2012 8:56 PM

1059 Yes, I do it on many occasions. Feb 14, 2012 8:53 PM

1060 I felt prouder to wear the old uniform but I am happy to wear it in public Feb 14, 2012 8:48 PM

1061 I am happy and proud to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 8:45 PM

1065 Proud of it . It is fine Feb 14, 2012 8:42 PM

1066 Yes Feb 14, 2012 8:37 PM

1067 yes i have always been proud to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 8:36 PM

1068 Yes Feb 14, 2012 8:35 PM

1069 Happy Feb 14, 2012 8:32 PM

1070 yes Feb 14, 2012 8:30 PM

1071 Yes Feb 14, 2012 8:28 PM

1072 Yes Feb 14, 2012 8:25 PM

1073 No because it's a bit embarrassing Feb 14, 2012 8:16 PM

1074 Not really. It just doesn't make sense to wear it in public. I wear publicclothes.

Feb 14, 2012 8:10 PM

1075 Lack of conistant lower body wear also, beige is poor choice for youth,shows dirt, difficult to find.

Feb 14, 2012 7:53 PM

1076 Yes but there is a need for a set formal uniform bottom so that when i npublic we look like we all belong to the same organisation.

Feb 14, 2012 7:52 PM

1077 I am happy to wear it in public, however the colour scheme is quite laughable Feb 14, 2012 7:51 PM

1078 No. It is too attracting and people are mean to scouts like me. Feb 14, 2012 7:50 PM

1079 yes- never had a bad thing said Feb 14, 2012 7:50 PM

1080 Yes - it is just difficult to keep the light coloured trousers clean in theoutdoors to maintain a positive uniform look though.

Feb 14, 2012 7:48 PM

1081 yes Feb 14, 2012 7:42 PM

1082 The way it fits on me and it's lack of shape makes me feel weird about Feb 14, 2012 7:41 PM

1095 It's fine to wear in public - better than the previous one Feb 14, 2012 7:14 PM

1096 yes Feb 14, 2012 7:13 PM

1097 Yes Feb 14, 2012 7:11 PM

1098 no. because we are not identifiable as Scouts anymore. They are also waytoo hot for warmer days!

Feb 14, 2012 7:11 PM

1099 yes Feb 14, 2012 7:10 PM

1100 Yes Feb 14, 2012 7:09 PM

1104 yes, i am happy with wearing it in public Feb 14, 2012 7:05 PM

1105 yes Feb 14, 2012 7:00 PM

1106 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:57 PM

1107 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:56 PM

1108 yes i happy to wear my uniform in public beside the fact it looks like myuniform flogs me...

Feb 14, 2012 6:56 PM

1109 Yes I'm pourd of it. In Queensland I think we have an extra badge which Feb 14, 2012 6:55 PM

125 of 156


says Scouts Australia, much more visible than the Scouts sign on the pocket.The back could also say "Scouts Australia" in a MODERN font, not thehorrible font as I see on the logo above.

1110 Yes I am happy to waer it in public Feb 14, 2012 6:54 PM

1111 Original design, tradition is important Feb 14, 2012 6:53 PM

1112 i am happy to wear it in public and am proud too but some people arent Feb 14, 2012 6:47 PM

1113 happy enough - it comes with the turf! Feb 14, 2012 6:46 PM

1114 Yes I am fine wearing the uniform Feb 14, 2012 6:44 PM

1116 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:38 PM

1117 I am already proud to wear my uniform in public, especially with all of mybadges and my red cord.

Feb 14, 2012 6:38 PM

1118 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:37 PM

1119 Only sometimes, when I'm with other venturers but not by myself. I don'tthink it's the design

Feb 14, 2012 6:35 PM

1120 yes Feb 14, 2012 6:32 PM

1121 no i am quite happy to wear it in public Feb 14, 2012 6:32 PM

1122 I wear my uniform in public, it is a shame that it doesn't automatically makepeople think of Scouts the way the original khaki shirt did though.

Feb 14, 2012 6:30 PM

1123 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:27 PM

1124 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:27 PM

1125 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:27 PM

1126 Love it Feb 14, 2012 6:25 PM

1127 yes i like to let people know i am part of the scout movement. I am proud tobe a leader!!!!!

Feb 14, 2012 6:25 PM

1128 uniforms are more than just an item of clothing. they represent something. ifsomeone were to be embarrassed about wearing the uniform in public Ihighly doubt it would be about its design

Feb 14, 2012 6:24 PM

1129 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:23 PM

1130 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:22 PM

1131 I don't really like wearing it in public, particularly the scarf - it is kind of daggy. Feb 14, 2012 6:21 PM

1132 Happy to wear in public Feb 14, 2012 6:21 PM

1133 I am proud to wear my uniform in public. Feb 14, 2012 6:20 PM

1136 Yes. I am proud of being involved in the scouting movement and I'm happyto wear my uniform in public.

Feb 14, 2012 6:16 PM

1137 yes. Feb 14, 2012 6:12 PM

1138 yes I do wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 6:11 PM

1139 I'm happy to wear it in public but only for a formal event. Feb 14, 2012 6:11 PM

1140 Yes Feb 14, 2012 6:11 PM

1141 yep :) Feb 14, 2012 6:08 PM

1142 i am however i would like the fabric to be lighter Feb 14, 2012 6:08 PM

1143 yes, more than happy.. if they tease us then they must be jelly Feb 14, 2012 6:07 PM

1144 yes, i am but I find the lack of uniform pants makes us look "scruffy",participially on ANZAC day.

Feb 14, 2012 6:07 PM

1145 yes Feb 14, 2012 6:05 PM

1146 Yes we should be proud to be seen as scouts. Feb 14, 2012 6:05 PM

1147 na Feb 14, 2012 6:03 PM

1148 yes Feb 14, 2012 6:01 PM

1149 No the design of sleeves and color Feb 14, 2012 6:01 PM

1150 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:58 PM

1151 I'm happy to wear it in public, it doesn't bother me Feb 14, 2012 5:57 PM

1152 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 5:54 PM

1153 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:54 PM

1154 Yes, the ladies leader shirt that doesn't tuck in looks nice on, and neat Feb 14, 2012 5:53 PM

1155 it feels formal and that i am part of the association. Feb 14, 2012 5:51 PM

1156 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:51 PM

1157 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:50 PM

1158 yea but would rather the old one Feb 14, 2012 5:49 PM

1159 Proud to wear in public Feb 14, 2012 5:47 PM

1160 I preferred the old Khaki style, as it was much truer to the heritage ofScouting. That being said, I am still proud to wear the new uniform at majorevents such as ANZAC Day, Australia Day and the like.

Feb 14, 2012 5:45 PM

127 of 156


1161 change the colour of the pants. Feb 14, 2012 5:44 PM

1162 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:44 PM

1163 I'm happy to wear the uniform in public, except I find that no one really knowsthat we are scouts...

Feb 14, 2012 5:43 PM

1164 I am proud to wear uniform however it does make people stare at you, but ithink that is more to do with the public's perception of scouting and not theuniform its self.

Feb 14, 2012 5:42 PM

1165 Nothing Feb 14, 2012 5:42 PM

1166 Yes, I'm just like it Feb 14, 2012 5:40 PM

1167 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:40 PM

1168 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:35 PM

1169 Yes I am more than happy to wear it proudly in public Feb 14, 2012 5:35 PM

1170 A womens cut uniform in normal well designed sizes would make me happyto wear the uniform, currently I hardly wear it at events let alone regualarly orin public

Feb 14, 2012 5:34 PM

1171 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:31 PM

1172 yes, except people often assume I am a girl guide as I am female and theuniform is blue

Feb 14, 2012 5:31 PM

1173 I am very happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 5:31 PM

1174 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:28 PM

1175 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 5:26 PM

1176 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:25 PM

1177 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:22 PM

1178 Yes, it shows rovers in a better light then others might believe and shows theyounger sections what to look foward to

Feb 14, 2012 5:22 PM

1179 mostly, no more or less than the old uniform Feb 14, 2012 5:19 PM

1180 yes, the uniform looks modern and practical, it is also easy to see in a crowd,such as the sydney airport

Feb 14, 2012 5:19 PM

1181 No, blue is not a scout colour bring back the old uniform Feb 14, 2012 5:19 PM

1182 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:14 PM


1184 yes i am. Feb 14, 2012 5:07 PM

1185 Yes and I try to encourage my scouts to wear their's when we go out in Feb 14, 2012 5:06 PM

128 of 156


public as well. However they do not like it as much, so, we have camp shirtswith our group name on the back and sometimes they can just wear that withtheir scarves.

1186 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:06 PM

1187 yes Feb 14, 2012 5:03 PM

1188 Yes. It promotes Scouting the wider community. And makes them interested Feb 14, 2012 5:02 PM

1189 Absolutely, I think the uniforms are great, just too big. Feb 14, 2012 5:01 PM

1190 Uniform pants would make us more presentable Feb 14, 2012 5:00 PM

1191 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:00 PM

1192 Yes, but it would be good if there were a compulsory bottom half (pants,shorts, skirt etc.) so that we all look the same.

Feb 14, 2012 5:00 PM

1193 Yes Feb 14, 2012 5:00 PM

1194 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:59 PM

1195 I am perfectly happy to be seen in public in my casual uniform, again, thesize of the shirt makes me feel uncomfortable when it is tucked in for publicevents.

Feb 14, 2012 4:59 PM

1196 yes Feb 14, 2012 4:58 PM

1197 always proud to wear it, its the set uniform and it shouldn't matter what itlooks like as its what it symbolises is whats important

Feb 14, 2012 4:56 PM

1198 I already am proud. Feb 14, 2012 4:53 PM

1199 Nope, see previous answer. Anything importnat enough to wear uniform for itseems inappropriate, and it's not casual enough to wear in public for no goodreason.

Feb 14, 2012 4:48 PM

1200 It's better then karkie uniform and have no need for change Feb 14, 2012 4:47 PM

1201 I am happy to wear it in the public Feb 14, 2012 4:47 PM


1203 I would be more proud to wear it in public if we had a complete compulsoryfull uniform.

Feb 14, 2012 4:41 PM

1204 Yes. Wouldn't wear those horrible pale coloured trousers with it though. Ourgroup wear navy blue or black instead.

Feb 14, 2012 4:37 PM

1205 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:34 PM

1206 yes am happy Feb 14, 2012 4:34 PM

1207 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:32 PM

1208 I'm happy to wear it in public, especially in group situations where we can be Feb 14, 2012 4:29 PM

129 of 156


seen having fun.

1209 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:27 PM

1210 I have not issues with wearing the uniform in public but then again I am aleader and have grown up enough to not care what others think. There is alot if presure dor young people to fit in so I completely simpathise with theirdesire not to be seen in uniform

Feb 14, 2012 4:26 PM

1211 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:24 PM

1212 Tucking them in gives scouts a dorky image to our age group Feb 14, 2012 4:23 PM

1213 No, it essentially identifies you as a minority which is something most peopleavoid doing.

Feb 14, 2012 4:21 PM

1214 Yes. But need matching pants Feb 14, 2012 4:18 PM

1215 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 4:16 PM

1216 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 4:10 PM

1217 Yes, but the lack of a standard pair of pants brings much disgrace to thewearing of the uniform when in a group

Feb 14, 2012 4:08 PM

1218 yes Feb 14, 2012 4:06 PM

1219 Yes Feb 14, 2012 4:05 PM

1220 yes Feb 14, 2012 4:05 PM

1221 no Feb 14, 2012 4:02 PM

1222 I am definitely happy to wear it in public, but I think the lack of clearguidelines on what pants to wear makes us look sloppy. The 'unisex' pantssnowgum sells as optional Scout pants are horrific, I'm only a size 12 inladies and I had to go up to about a size L or XL in order to get them over myhips. By this point they were faaaar too long and about 3 times the width ofmy knees and ankles. It's annoying that different states have different rules,so one branch will prefer black while another likes stone. I think it's fine formy local Cub pack to meet in jeans and even to go out walking the local areain them, but in the city on Australia Day it looks stupid when people arewearing three different shades of pants. I think rather than specifying a pairof pants, which are very expensive, they should specify a shade. Snowgumregularly has pants in the stone / beige colour that the 'optional' pants are in,as do places that are much cheaper like Rays Outdoors or Aussie Disposals.

Feb 14, 2012 4:02 PM

1223 i am proud to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

1224 Happy to wear in public and do. Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

1225 I am happy to wear my uniform in public, My concern is the lack of uniformtrousers.

Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

1228 Yes. Feb 14, 2012 3:56 PM

1229 I am happy to wear the uniform in public with either black or dark blue pants. Feb 14, 2012 3:56 PM

1230 I am happy to wear the uniform in public. I am sometimes not happy to wearit with other members of the movement in publicdue to the way it is worn.

Feb 14, 2012 3:54 PM

1231 Yes Feb 14, 2012 3:46 PM

1232 yes Feb 14, 2012 3:43 PM

1233 yes Feb 14, 2012 3:43 PM

1234 yes Feb 14, 2012 3:43 PM

1235 no Feb 14, 2012 3:36 PM

1236 Yea I'm fine with it Feb 14, 2012 3:34 PM

1237 I really like the style of the uniform and I don't mind wearing it in public. Feb 14, 2012 3:25 PM

1238 Yes, I'm very happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 3:18 PM

1239 Yes. I don't mind wearing or not wearing it. Feb 14, 2012 3:18 PM

1240 I'm happy to wear my uniform in public Feb 14, 2012 3:16 PM

1241 yes i am Feb 14, 2012 3:12 PM

1242 Fine Feb 14, 2012 3:02 PM

1243 Proud to wear it in public. Even worn it to work occasionally! Feb 14, 2012 2:56 PM

1244 i am happy to wear it Feb 14, 2012 2:54 PM

1245 yes Feb 14, 2012 2:40 PM

1246 yes, but the scarf is difficult to keep neat Feb 14, 2012 2:20 PM

1247 the only reason i feel uncomfortable in public is that i look out of place withthe rest of my crew (i have the polo, they all have shirts) and they dont tendto wear it much. we should make an effort to wear it more

Feb 14, 2012 2:10 PM

1248 I love wearing my uniform in public, especially when part of a group. Feb 14, 2012 1:50 PM

1249 Yes I am happy to wear it in public. The scarves make it unapealing thoughthey are an important part that shouldn't be removed.

Feb 14, 2012 1:26 PM

1250 My 11yo is very comfortable wearing his scout shirt in public. Feb 14, 2012 1:22 PM

1251 in public the uniform with jeans looks slightly tacky Feb 14, 2012 1:20 PM

1252 Make it more formal and less wanky. Feb 14, 2012 1:05 PM

1253 I dont like it being all blue, it hard to tell leaders (when they are short)differently from children. also be sectional badges are hard to sew on theshoulders and have stay there. most kids dont adhere to the colour on the

bottom rules and where whatever, so we end up looking like a bunch offootball supporters. if we had proper bottoms, and shoe rule for non campuniform it would be a lot nicer, a skirt option for girls and women too.

1254 yes Feb 14, 2012 12:52 PM

1255 No, I cover it with a jacket as it is a uniform and should be worn at a the righttime and place

Feb 14, 2012 12:32 PM

1256 yes Feb 14, 2012 12:30 PM

1257 yes Feb 14, 2012 12:30 PM

1258 I ware it in publuc but has a dress make make it look better Feb 14, 2012 12:29 PM

1259 ? Feb 14, 2012 12:25 PM

1260 Yes Feb 14, 2012 12:22 PM

1261 Yes Feb 14, 2012 12:18 PM

1262 Happy to wear it Feb 14, 2012 12:18 PM

1263 Yes Feb 14, 2012 12:13 PM

1264 I am OK as a leader wearing my uniform and I would say comfortable. If thepoint of this question is whether people are self conscious about beingidentified as a scout member I'm not sure that it is necessarily the uniformthat is the issue. Cubs and Joeys in my experience will wear a uniformwithout question if that is the culture of a group. Scouts will also - but alsostart to be more cautious of were they like to be seen. I am aware of leaderswho think the scarf is a bit naff!

Feb 14, 2012 12:03 PM

1265 Yes, they attracted the public but!!!! the common comment was when did theuniform change??? Maybe some more TV adds showing who we are not justwhat we do.

Feb 14, 2012 11:44 AM

1266 Happy to wear in public Feb 14, 2012 11:38 AM

1267 YES. Feb 14, 2012 11:37 AM

1268 yes Feb 14, 2012 11:34 AM

1269 Yes Feb 14, 2012 11:29 AM

1270 Yes I am Feb 14, 2012 11:27 AM

1271 Happy to wear it in public Feb 14, 2012 11:25 AM

1272 I am happy to wear it in public. I think it looks really smart, I am also a Guideand the Scout ones are sooo much better.

Feb 14, 2012 11:15 AM

1273 epaulettes Feb 14, 2012 11:09 AM

1274 happy to wear Feb 14, 2012 11:01 AM

1275 Yes Feb 14, 2012 10:50 AM

132 of 156


1276 Yes Feb 14, 2012 10:50 AM

1277 Generally yes, happy to wear it in public. I think it looks really good whenthere are multiple sections present (esp Joeys/Cubs/Scouts) as the shouldercolours seem to make more sense in big groups.

Feb 14, 2012 10:49 AM

1278 yes. Leaders need to be better identified with their Section Feb 14, 2012 10:41 AM

1279 yes Feb 14, 2012 10:40 AM

1280 yes Feb 14, 2012 10:36 AM

1281 I am proud to wear my uniform Feb 14, 2012 10:29 AM

1282 Am happy to wear in public. Feb 14, 2012 9:58 AM

Page 4, Q6. What is most important to you? That the uniform is the cheapest possible or produced under fairand ethical working conditions? Indicate on the scale below from 1 (cheapest possible) to 10 (ethicallyproduced at any cost)

1 We are an ethics-based organisation and should therefore be upholding thehighest standards.

Apr 10, 2012 11:21 AM

2 Australian made if possible Apr 4, 2012 1:12 PM

3 It needs to be produced correctly, but if the cost is too high, then parents(and cash-strapped university students) won't buy them

Apr 4, 2012 11:06 AM

4 Scouting is based on helping others, in fact on serving others. We should notbe putting our hip pocket ahead of ethical working conditions for poor peoplein third-world countries.

Apr 4, 2012 11:01 AM

5 balance required. cost is important, so is cotton rather than man made fabric.Fair grade a good improvement if cost not up much

Mar 26, 2012 8:14 PM

6 we wont be able to stop people being exploited somewhere else; it wouldonly mean we have to pay more money for our uniforms - without having anyreal result.

Mar 21, 2012 5:50 PM

7 Why not both? As cheaply produced [without loss of quality] AND sourcedfrom a Fair Trade/ ethical company as well....

Mar 21, 2012 9:08 AM

8 Want to support other families in the world, also want scouting accessible inmy community.

Mar 20, 2012 9:34 PM

9 It is a hobby and it is getting expensive, especially in these financial times. Mar 19, 2012 10:36 AM

10 Below waste wear should be uniform Mar 17, 2012 9:02 PM

11 We need to set an example to the Public. Mar 16, 2012 10:35 PM

12 I want value for money and good quality garments, because you only getwhat you pay for.

Mar 16, 2012 2:53 PM

13 There needs to be a balance between cost and where we buy the materialfrom. Don't forget Aust textile manufacturers! I work for one, the qualitywould be better, turn around time would be better and you would besupporting AUst business.

Mar 16, 2012 9:59 AM

14 The uniforms should be produced economically for all families, as they payfor the leaders uniforms as well. They should also be produced so that theylast. Remember the old saying "you get what you pay for"

Mar 15, 2012 10:18 PM

15 We are already getting ripped off by Snowgum,and /or the Scout Assoc.when you consider the cost of a polo shirt or fleece in another store. I thinkthe prices are ridiculous to start with so would not be prepared to pay anymore. We should be able to buy our uniforms at cost. It's bad enough withthe new ones that you have to replace the youth shirts when they changesections as well as when they're too small.

Mar 15, 2012 9:58 PM

16 I'm happy to pay for Australian Made! Mar 15, 2012 2:15 PM

17 we're scouts - we teach respect & care for others and the environment so wehave to do what's right, but be as cheap as possible to not exclude any kidsfrom joining us

Mar 15, 2012 12:14 PM

135 of 156


18 It is nice to have ideals, however it must also be affordable for families Mar 15, 2012 8:14 AM

19 Good quality fabric that breathes and is colourfast before all other options. Mar 14, 2012 8:16 PM

20 Personally I would look for quality of manufacture and fabric before either ofthese options

Mar 14, 2012 6:24 PM

21 Overriding requirement, it must be durable. Mar 14, 2012 3:16 PM

22 great to see this being considered Mar 14, 2012 12:19 PM

23 As Scouts, concerned about fairness and caring for others I think we shouldpurchase all Scout goods (including shirts) that are produced fairly (fairtrade) so that even the producers/manufacturers are paid fairly.

Mar 14, 2012 11:45 AM

24 Need to try and keep cost to a minimum as our Group purchases the shirt sothat means more fundraising!

Mar 14, 2012 11:29 AM

25 Needs a cost scale to really make sense of this question Mar 14, 2012 10:33 AM

26 If Kmart and Target can sell business shirts for $15, why is the present scoutshirt so expensive and uncomfortable to wear ?

Mar 14, 2012 9:56 AM

27 The t-shirts need to be affordable for the group and parents. With the cost ofgroup fees and registration the current price is high for members.

Mar 14, 2012 7:54 AM

28 while i can afford it, others can not afford the current one Mar 14, 2012 6:21 AM

29 I wouldn't mind paying a small amount extra but as there are four membersin my family who belong to Scouts I couldn't afford to pay a huge amountextra for shirts.

Mar 14, 2012 6:21 AM

30 Joey section is for max 2 years so low cost is probably important to parents Mar 14, 2012 5:07 AM

31 As the blue fades so badly, I'll need to buy a new shirt every five years or so,to continue to look fresh, and so cost is a factor.

Mar 13, 2012 10:22 PM

32 As long as quality is good Mar 13, 2012 9:57 PM

33 I would like the shirts to be made in Australia, if possible, at a reasonablecost

Mar 13, 2012 9:31 PM

34 Make them in Australia !! I don't know why we farm EVERYTHING fromoverseas ??

Mar 13, 2012 9:04 PM

35 the cost still needs to be reasonable, but I'm all for fair and ethical workingconditions

Mar 13, 2012 9:00 PM

36 NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING BUT ALSO FOR THE RIGHT PRICE Mar 13, 2012 8:44 PM

37 The uniform shirts are expensive for the still lack of quality that we receive.While I agree with fair work conditions, this must not drive the price up anyfurther!

Mar 13, 2012 8:13 PM

38 would like to know that the Scout Association is NOT contributing to unfair orunethical working conditions. Much prefer to think we could have ours made

Mar 13, 2012 8:10 PM

136 of 156


in Australia.

39 I expect fair and ethical working conditions but I am a mother of 4 and by theend of the year all 6 of us will be in uniform so cost is important.I havechosen the more expensive shirt options for my children because they lookbetter than the polo shirts but I feel that $40 is about the maximum I wouldbe prepared to pay - I haven't bought myself the Scout branded fleecy or hatbecause they are too expensive to justify.

Mar 13, 2012 8:08 PM

40 Middle of the range, not every one can afford dear clothes and scoutingshould be open to all regardless of race, class or religious back ground.

Mar 13, 2012 7:27 PM

41 Don't really care. Mar 12, 2012 11:54 AM

42 Would prefer to pay more and be socially responsible Mar 11, 2012 8:19 PM

43 Scouts mush be thrifty, but we must also care for our environment andothers around us.

Mar 11, 2012 6:50 PM

44 The cost of scouting in the current economic climate is considered high bymany families and students however, I feel we have a marketing opportunityhere. If we make uniforms cheaper then the additional costs of membershipare reduced thus allowing us to promote to members the cost reduction andempower them to promote scouting as the cheapest youth program inaustralia

Mar 11, 2012 11:15 AM

45 The previous uniform was the same colour for all sections, this saved costsfor parents when changing sections. A Cub joining as a ten year old will notwear out his Cub uniform and some parents buy the next Section's shirt.The same applies to older Joeys.

Mar 8, 2012 7:56 PM

46 not produced in china Mar 6, 2012 6:30 PM

47 Cheapest is not always best value. Mar 6, 2012 6:07 PM

48 It should be made with quality but still not to expensive. Mar 6, 2012 5:37 PM

49 these days we should be able to balance these two concerns Mar 6, 2012 5:33 PM

50 The uniform is expensive - but it would seem wrong to send their productionoverseas!

Mar 6, 2012 10:57 AM

51 I believe it's possible to produce uniform items at a fair price in Australia infair conditions.

Mar 5, 2012 2:12 PM

52 How do you know if it is ethically produced or not? Mar 5, 2012 11:42 AM

53 I would prefer that the uniform is of better quality, as it wears better, re-salesbetter and looks better

Mar 4, 2012 9:19 PM

54 Should be made to be at a reasonable price that is accesible to everyonewithout blowing the budget....You could go & buy a King Gee work shirt forcheaper that the $50.00 is cost for the Scouts shirt with the only differencebeing that the scout emblem is embroidered on the pocket..

Mar 3, 2012 7:22 PM

55 Please keep the baseball style hats, the rimmed hat are ugly and Mar 3, 2012 6:40 PM

137 of 156


uncomfortable.

56 Question 6 is based on an absurd premise, namely that cost and workingconditions for those employed to make the uniforms correlate. It would bebetter to ask two independent questions, namely "how important is the costof the uniform?" and secondly "How concerned are you that the uniforms aremade by persons in receipt of ethical work conditions?" I objected to theoriginal change of uniform and continue to do so.

Mar 2, 2012 10:11 PM

57 The scout uniform is by no means cheap now. I'm happy with the top pricesbut think the pant prices are too expensive. Having a son that grows like abean stalk, paying $60 per pair of pants is expensive. I know they say wecan buy them anywhere but I haven't been able to find bone colour pantsanywhere when I've needed them,.

Mar 2, 2012 7:32 PM

58 sweat shops are bad Mar 2, 2012 6:16 PM

59 where would be defined ethical; to my knowledge they are made in chinacurrently. If they were to be made in Australia the price would skyrocket

Mar 2, 2012 5:59 PM

60 prefer good quality to cheap and nasty Mar 2, 2012 1:34 PM

61 Unfortunately we live in a consumer society, not content with worrying aboutconsumer practice. It should be remembered that if we are genuinely tryingto reach our youth that cost shouldn't be a factor and then it needs to be keptat the absolute bare minimum to allow the benifits of Scouting

Mar 2, 2012 7:12 AM

62 quality of fabric and seams is important also Mar 1, 2012 7:25 PM

63 Will stand up to scouting life, ie setting up camp, normal nights, Joey craft Mar 1, 2012 5:09 PM

64 I'm okay with them being made overseas. But if it comes out that Scouts (Asan ethical organisation for youths) have been using child labour... Well, that'sgoing to ruin the day for a lot of Branch Commissioners...

Mar 1, 2012 8:47 AM

65 Supporting local is a very small price to pay. Mar 1, 2012 12:15 AM

66 I would definately like to see our Scouts Australia uniform made in Australia Feb 29, 2012 9:39 PM

67 Q6 assumes foreign made = unethical. This is not always the case. And youfail to mention quality. Balance of cost & quality is important.

Feb 29, 2012 9:26 PM

68 Needs to be affordable so ok to be made overseas Feb 29, 2012 8:39 PM

69 Made in Austraia is preferred but cheapness is important to Cub parents,especially should not be prohibitively expensive for new Cubs.

Feb 29, 2012 8:09 PM

70 Somewhere in between. Quality but not to be ripped off just because its forscouts

Feb 29, 2012 8:03 PM

71 to make it affofdable for famlies Feb 29, 2012 7:01 PM

72 a good balance Feb 29, 2012 6:31 PM

73 as long as its hard wearing, long lasting and good value for money Feb 29, 2012 5:40 PM

138 of 156


74 You get what you pay for Feb 29, 2012 4:58 PM

75 scouting needs to be affordable by all Feb 29, 2012 4:56 PM

76 I feel that uniforms need to be kept at a reasonable price.Surely with ournumbers this is possible.

Feb 29, 2012 4:39 PM

77 We need to find a balance between using local manufacturing, using qualityfabrics and the needs of all demographics of our members

Feb 29, 2012 4:17 PM

78 need to be able to recylce the uniform as at the moment it only gets 1 wearas it looks crap after 3 years

Feb 29, 2012 4:08 PM

79 The cost of the shirt would not determine if left or stayed in scouting Feb 29, 2012 4:05 PM

80 It should be produced under fair working conditions but not costly, Scouts isalready expensive.

Feb 29, 2012 3:52 PM

81 It should fall apart, as joey's needs to wear them for about 2 years. Feb 29, 2012 3:50 PM

82 Some shirts fade quickly Feb 29, 2012 3:47 PM

83 A fair balance is preferred Feb 29, 2012 3:26 PM

84 A quality shirt is important in my opinion. Feb 29, 2012 3:04 PM

85 It needs to be made known clearly that this is the reason for cost. And ethicsdoes not have to be expensive per se...

Feb 29, 2012 2:47 PM

86 It wouldn't have any bearing on how I wear the uniform our how I view it. Feb 28, 2012 6:14 PM

87 We are an ethical organisation Feb 28, 2012 12:40 PM

88 Working conditions and rates of pay in developing countries can reasonablybe expected to be less than in Australia, bit If it comes from a factory whereworker health and safety are blatantly disregarded or where children areemployed, I won't wear it.

Feb 28, 2012 12:14 PM

89 It is very important that we support ethical trade, and there is no doubt thatScouting should consider this. However, we must be mindful of the cost,because uniforms are already expensive, especially given we must now buya new uniform for every single section. I started scouts as an 8 year old, andbetween the ages of 8 and 18 I only purchased 2 shirts under the old uniformscheme.

Feb 28, 2012 12:06 PM

90 Ethically produced, but not at any cost as some working parents strugglewith fees etc anyway. Maybe need to be able to pay by instalment.

Feb 28, 2012 9:02 AM

91 Would like to think that is was being produced in Australia by Australians Feb 28, 2012 8:00 AM

92 Keep them aussie made! Feb 28, 2012 4:58 AM

93 cheap isn't usualy good, you only get what you pay for but I don't think weshould quite go the RMW's

Feb 27, 2012 11:24 PM

94 Cheapest is not economical if they don't last, whilst ethically produced at any Feb 27, 2012 9:56 PM

139 of 156


cost could make it too expensive for those in lower economic situations.needs to be affordable to wide range of people

95 It is admirable to be ethical but it becomes exclusionary to some families ifthe uniform is too expensive

Feb 27, 2012 9:41 PM

96 There has to be a balance, without people will not want to pay Feb 27, 2012 8:03 PM

97 i think it needs to be produced ethically but kept cheaper pure and simply forthe families who have multiple children in the movement as its unfair to themto have to pay for shirt after shirt that goes with the growth of the scouts

Feb 27, 2012 5:00 PM

98 Australian made should be seriously considered. Feb 25, 2012 12:37 PM

99 Current design and construction is of poor quality, poor design and is notgood value for money. Seems little thought has gone into actually making apractical uniform for scouts.

Feb 24, 2012 2:08 PM

100 I think we have to ballance both things Feb 23, 2012 9:03 PM

101 Needs to be affordable to all families esp when they need a new one eachsection!

Feb 23, 2012 2:14 PM

102 Should spend the money to have a good uniform, cheap and nasty will notonly look cheap but will not cope with the wear and tear from scoutingactivities.

Feb 22, 2012 4:25 PM

103 Why does question 6 presume that price of something produced fairly &ethically would be the most expensive? Twisted logic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feb 22, 2012 4:16 PM

104 i don't think they are mutualy exclusive, ie that both needs can be met at thesame time.

Feb 22, 2012 1:17 PM

105 Both. Feb 22, 2012 8:24 AM

106 I would hope they are made in Australia, but realise this may not be possible.Cost is of little importantance to a longtime leader as we get a lot of use outof it.

Feb 22, 2012 8:15 AM

107 As long as it is a quality product & not one that piles and fades as time goeson.

Feb 22, 2012 5:21 AM

108 Money is tight Feb 21, 2012 10:41 PM

109 As a youth movement which is aiming to "Create A Better World" we shouldbe creating and implementing fair-trade Policies. These policies shouldincorporate sourcing and manufacturing of Scout uniforms.

Feb 21, 2012 10:23 PM

110 I do not particularly care about what it costs. I would prefer if they wereAustralian made shirts however this is not a particular issue for me.

Feb 21, 2012 10:20 PM

111 We should be paying for them to be made, not just for the materials. Feb 21, 2012 10:16 PM

112 While cost is important ethical production wligns with the Scout law Feb 21, 2012 8:54 PM

113 made in Australia would be my preference Feb 21, 2012 7:46 PM

140 of 156


114 As an adult, I stopped growing long ago, and I'll have my rover shirt for agood 8 years. If I were younger and needed to buy a new colour every fewyears, I would probably prefer it was cheap.

Feb 21, 2012 12:53 PM

115 I would like it to be made somewhere in the middle, a uniform is meant to beprofessional and last long so under cheaper conditions this would not be so.

Feb 21, 2012 12:00 PM

116 I don't really care, as long as scouts can have a good uniform, thet we wouldreally like.

Feb 21, 2012 12:00 PM

117 Uniforms must be made to last. Haveing a poorly built shirt that barely lasts 2years is pathetic.

Feb 21, 2012 10:22 AM

118 It would be totally inconsistent to be Scouts operating under the Scout law,and yet support some kind of Chinese sweat shop. The whole point of beinga Scout is doing the right thing even if it's a bit difficult: we should absolutelyhave ethical uniforms even if it's somewhat more expensive.

Feb 21, 2012 8:33 AM

119 Anything less that completly ethical would not be the scouting way. If costbecame a problem, then, as in the early years, it should be simple enoughthat people can make their own if they can sew, or basic enough they canfind their own parts for the uniform from places other than official suppliers.

Feb 21, 2012 7:39 AM

120 Ok, they are already expensive enough, but please do the ethical thing! Weare scouts and should try to do our best by the rest of the world. Made inAustralia please.

Feb 21, 2012 12:48 AM

121 As long as we can get a good quality uniform that is reasonably priced. Thecurrent polos are not, they are cheap and nasty and fade. Except, they're notactually cheap!

Feb 20, 2012 10:24 PM

122 Most people will say they value ethically produced, but their behaviour willshow they value price.

Feb 20, 2012 8:58 PM

123 Had not previously considered this question. I would be prepared to pay apremium for an ethical product (Australian? Social enterprise?) but I considerit extremely important that cost sensivities don't become a further barrier tojoining Scouting.

Feb 20, 2012 6:12 PM

124 Everyone says to me all the time that the Venturers uniforms sleeves arePurple, but I've always thought that they are maroon. In saying this I thinkthat the Venturers colour is too close to that of the Joeys and Roverssections and can be a bit confusing. i would suggest that the colour could bechanged to actual purple that would make Venturers stand out more.

Feb 20, 2012 5:14 PM

125 Has to be ethical and reasonably priced. Feb 20, 2012 11:38 AM

126 not made for maximum profit with the cheapest materials Feb 20, 2012 11:17 AM

127 Value for money to ensure all members can afford all uniform items Feb 20, 2012 10:37 AM

128 Blue sucks Feb 20, 2012 9:04 AM

129 scouts must maintain the moral high ground and lead by example. Feb 19, 2012 11:58 PM

130 We need to have a balance, some could say they are too heavy a material Feb 19, 2012 10:06 PM

141 of 156


but the quality is there

131 So many clothing items are manufactured under exploitative conditions bothhere and overseas. I shop for personal items considering ethics, why shouldmy Scout uniform be any different?

Feb 19, 2012 8:52 PM

132 needs to be affordable but if we are supposed to be an ethical organisationthen this has to be an issue

Feb 19, 2012 8:03 PM

133 Not bothered either way Feb 19, 2012 6:23 PM

134 As a part of the Scouting movement, we should hold ourself to highstandards, and having an ethical working environment is one of the thingsthat should be a part of that standard.

Feb 19, 2012 3:26 PM

135 Ethical production is paramount, as if it weren't then people wouldn't come toscouts, which defeats the purpose of having cheap uniforms. The principlesof scouting must be upheld otherwise we lose track of what's right and what'swrong.

Feb 19, 2012 12:51 PM

136 I would recomend changing the standard beige colour pants to a colour morepractable like the same colour navy as the shirt for the beige stains to easilytherefore displaying a dirty image to the public

Feb 18, 2012 7:01 PM

137 Ethics is important but so is affordability so that no scout member hasproblems belonging

Feb 18, 2012 5:01 PM

138 I suppose that we need a compromise between fair and ethical and costbecause cost can be a large contributing factor in keeping or loosing youth.

Feb 18, 2012 11:29 AM

139 Would like cooler shirts for Qld - i mean cotton not a sports material Feb 18, 2012 10:01 AM

140 Scouting stands for all people to have a fair life and should support onlyethically correct companies

Feb 18, 2012 12:04 AM

141 Im from a low income family and are barely affording scouts as it is let aloneif the uniform was more expensive but I dont want child labour used.

Feb 17, 2012 9:42 PM

142 It should be cheap enough that it doesn't deter people from buying it, ie. Thatit is a price accessible to everyone. However, in doing so it should beproduced as ethically as possible without causing the price tone too high.

Feb 17, 2012 8:48 PM

143 Stupid question- implies that cheapness only comes through unethicalbehaviour or ethical production is always expensive

Feb 17, 2012 7:43 PM

144 I don't pay for them mum and dad do Feb 17, 2012 7:42 PM

145 almost nothing we wear these days is "ethically produced". Feb 17, 2012 7:30 PM

146 Slightly more ethical considerations, but great price as well. Feb 17, 2012 4:47 PM

147 No matter how ethical we wish to be we must also consider those that areless fortunate and wishes to join scouting. High cost of scouting would bedamper the less fortunate to join.

Feb 17, 2012 9:32 AM

148 the price pf the shirt is not to bad the price of leader pants and jackets from Feb 17, 2012 8:00 AM

142 of 156


SOC is ridiclous

149 Most important part of "ethical" is to be Australian-made, which not everyonewould consider part of "ethical".

Feb 17, 2012 5:56 AM

150 Need to be fair for those who can't afford higher costs. We also need to befair in recognising that wages are actually loer in some other countries.

Feb 16, 2012 11:34 PM

151 we need to move away from supporting slave labour by buying clothes (orother goods) made with only cheap end product in mind rather than fairworking conditions for those making the stuff. But recognise $$ an issue formany.

Feb 16, 2012 11:25 PM

152 Australian Made? Feb 16, 2012 11:08 PM

153 We have to have good quality regardless of cost. It gets washed as often asa school uniform and must, must look smart at all times. Families havedifferent washing methods and drying arrangements. The uniforms all comeout looking different and are different colours. Not good enough for auniform. It is no longer uniform.

Feb 16, 2012 9:44 PM

154 Ethics is an important issue to me, and it should be taken into considerationthat resources and individuals aren't being expoilted in the making of ouruniforms.

Feb 16, 2012 8:02 PM

155 I'm happy to pay a premium for quality material & manufactured in Aust.Perhaps there should be a cheaper version available for families whostruggle financially - remembering the phrase "You get what you pay for'...

Feb 16, 2012 7:21 PM

156 Yeah, sorry. Its about having a poor Scout troop. I'd pay more for theuniform produced under good conditions, but our kids and parents wouldn't.

Feb 16, 2012 7:00 PM

157 What we see as unfair and unethical, poor people in some countries arehappy to tolerate to provide themselves and their families with an income.

Feb 16, 2012 6:33 PM

158 The materials and construction is most important to me Feb 16, 2012 6:04 PM

159 Frankly not concerned, but increased costs for the uniform are not appealing. Feb 16, 2012 5:47 PM

160 would want it to be ethical but within reason Feb 16, 2012 5:25 PM

161 Black pants are much better than cream if pants become an official part ofthe uniform. Cream gets dirty so easily and in my opinion black looks smarterand better

Feb 16, 2012 5:06 PM

162 What you pay for is what you get. Feb 16, 2012 4:31 PM

163 Best of both worlds please Feb 16, 2012 3:29 PM

164 I wouldnt care how much it costs, if it's under fair working conditions I'mproud to wear it.

Feb 16, 2012 3:27 PM

165 While I consider the ethical issues important (and would be willing tosacrifice cost for them) I think the quality of the shirt is also more imporantthan the cost. I believe that the current fabric and quality of the shirts is notworth the cost and would be willing to pay more for a shirt that didn't loose

Feb 16, 2012 2:51 PM

143 of 156


it's buttons so easily and was made of a more comfortable fabric.

166 of course money comes into as many of us do not have much money tothrow around especially when you have to buy a new uniform for eachsection. but working conditions are of utmost important, i would preferaustralian made wherever possible.

Feb 16, 2012 2:21 PM

167 As Scouting is a vigorous activity, you do require quality products Feb 16, 2012 12:34 PM

168 As a single mum who is both a rover and a leader, uniforms are expensive.The cheaper the better.

Feb 16, 2012 12:20 PM

169 Cost is crucial but I love the idea of Australian made and the quality of theshirts at the moment are fantastic

Feb 16, 2012 10:38 AM

170 They still have to be affordable for everyone, which is not neccessarily thecase at the moment.

Feb 16, 2012 10:13 AM

171 Are we not Scouts? If the Scouting movement, with it's strong commitment toLaws and Promise cannot be relied upon to place justice over price then wehave lost our way.

Feb 16, 2012 10:02 AM

172 Australian Made is a bonus Feb 16, 2012 9:58 AM

173 impractical to make it ethically produced at a ridiculous cost as unaffordablefor students and average families to purchase

Feb 16, 2012 9:45 AM

174 the price should be cheaper for parents. its really expensive to buy a shirt foreach section that is way over priced.

Feb 16, 2012 9:41 AM

175 They get made in sweatshops do they? Feb 16, 2012 9:20 AM

176 As most of us wear our uniform few times a month it need to be able to bewashed few times if out fading or balling. I don't mind paid a little more orquality item that I'm going get a few years out of.

Feb 16, 2012 8:59 AM

177 I don't want to be paying $100 for a shirt that I'm going to wear a few times ayear, however I don't want to have a cheaply made top that will fray and fallapart either

Feb 16, 2012 8:22 AM

178 i want to know that people were paid a fair price to make my shirt Feb 16, 2012 7:55 AM

179 But many families would prefer the cheapest Feb 16, 2012 7:44 AM

180 It should be affordable and not fall apart or lose shape. Feb 16, 2012 6:39 AM

181 Australian made scout shirts Feb 16, 2012 6:05 AM

182 Don't care Feb 15, 2012 10:59 PM

183 Leaders don;t tend to pay for their own uniforms. I think for parents costwould have more of an impact in decision making

Feb 15, 2012 10:58 PM

184 Keep the cost down. Too many other costs for parents. Feb 15, 2012 10:32 PM

185 Our Scouting products should match our values (and The Scout Law) hence Feb 15, 2012 10:26 PM

144 of 156


it's a balance.

186 More changes? haven't we had enough If its not broke no need to fix Feb 15, 2012 10:25 PM

187 When BP started this movement, There was an excess of army uniforms ofthe day. So these were used as a uniform for the movement. Perhaps themovement should look at what is available on the market that is massproduced and Scouts can then get excesses and use them for a uniform. Noneed to re-invent the wheel. Its out there you just have to look.

Feb 15, 2012 10:04 PM

188 I'd prefer it more ethical but as I am not a parent of kids I can understand theneed for some balance

Feb 15, 2012 9:58 PM

189 Made in Australia is the best option Feb 15, 2012 9:48 PM

190 One of the "selling points" when introducing the new uniform was that itwould be much cheaper for Leaders and parents. This however is not thecase and it costs a fortune by the time you purchase belt, trousers etc ... andquality means that often the shirts (Sectional youth) look quite "ratty" by thetime the member advances to the next Section and are not suitable to be re-sold

Feb 15, 2012 9:48 PM

191 I would like a uniform that is made to stand a few years of wear but also thatit is cost effective, when I was a youth member I wore 2 shirts throughout myscouting. Now we need to buy one for every section. While 2nd hand are okthey are hard to come by still due to the uniform not being out for that long.include cuborees, ventures, jamborees, moots plus general scouting campsand it gets expensive.

Feb 15, 2012 9:34 PM

192 Should be Australian made Feb 15, 2012 9:33 PM

193 it would be nice to go back to the blue uniforms of sea scouts and thegreenish ones for land scouts coming from a sea scout group it was nice tohave a different uniform to the land scouts it also made it easier at big eventsto tell which groups were which

Feb 15, 2012 9:29 PM

194 It's made overseas, and to expensive Feb 15, 2012 9:19 PM

195 I work for a textile manufacturer, beware of cheap imports as quality lacksbut also too expensive to manufacturer in Aust. Need to find a balance aswell as being able to have stock available

Feb 15, 2012 9:12 PM

196 They are already savagely priced but they don't reflect the quality for theprice.

Feb 15, 2012 8:59 PM

197 i don't think you can tell a supplier of a shirt where to get it made, so its hardto comment on working conditions.

Feb 15, 2012 8:50 PM

198 As we have to buy new ones each time we link, it is not fair in families tohave a 40 dollar price tag

Feb 15, 2012 8:43 PM

199 Ideally Australian made under ethical conditions of natural materials. Feb 15, 2012 8:41 PM

200 It should be affordable, but should also be as ethically produced as possible,we are scouts afterall!

Feb 15, 2012 8:28 PM

145 of 156


201 Because of the scouting laws and everything, I think it is heaps moreimportant to be procuded in fair working conditions.

Feb 15, 2012 8:20 PM

202 cost is a factor but quality of product is much more a factor Feb 15, 2012 7:58 PM

203 I don't pay for it but the shirts are already expensive for a shirt so I would saythey probably are fairtrade. If the shirts weren't expensive more people mayjoin scouts but probably not. Ps. your survey looks crap. Green is a badcolour to use just stick with white it looks fine with white. and more peoplewould fill out the survey if it was multiple choice.

Feb 15, 2012 7:56 PM

204 make the uniform so that everybody can afford i. The colour sleeves makesexpensive as the Youth have to renew their shirt each time the change.sections...and not as easily passed down through the Group, only valid tothat Section.

Feb 15, 2012 7:53 PM

205 Australian made Feb 15, 2012 7:37 PM

206 must be robust, attractive (youth/adults) and be practical and easy wash andwear etc

Feb 15, 2012 7:34 PM

207 Produce it in AUSTRALIA. It is an Australian uniform, after all. Feb 15, 2012 7:30 PM

208 And Aussie made Feb 15, 2012 7:29 PM

209 But cost is still a factor, I wouldn't be happy to pay an excessive amount justbecause it is ethically produced.

Feb 15, 2012 7:15 PM

210 my mum doesn't have much money but my brothers and I all have scoutshirts

Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

211 wish we could have Australian made Feb 15, 2012 7:13 PM

212 Are Scouts not meant to do what they can to support the well being ofothers? I don't see how having un-paid labourers make our uniformssupports these ideals of equality.

Feb 15, 2012 7:12 PM

213 Needs to last more than a year, as my Mum hates sewing on all the badges! Feb 15, 2012 7:11 PM

214 The current price is already a barrier to some families in my troop. We needto drive the price down to the $20 mark for a shirt. That is still way more thanmost people would spend on a hirt, however it would be seen as affordable.$30 for a kids polo shirt is just a silly cost for something that will be out grownin a year.

Feb 15, 2012 7:10 PM

215 I write this as a leader but more so a parent that will need to buy multipleuniforms - cheaper is better

Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PM

216 made in australia to suit all activities scouts under take Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PM

217 I believe, being a Catholic, that the uniform should be made in an ethnicmanner, and not in some cheap place in Asia where the people are paid lessthen $20 per day

Feb 15, 2012 6:50 PM

218 has to be a fair ballance Feb 15, 2012 6:48 PM

146 of 156


219 Your seriously worried about ethics. be worried about quality. Feb 15, 2012 6:46 PM

220 I think that seeing as the uniform should last the four or so years you are in asection, it is okay to pay a little bit more for it to be ethically produced. Butobviously this is only within reason, and no one really wants to pay too muchmore than they need to.

Feb 15, 2012 6:44 PM

221 I'm imagining the 6 as being as fair as possible without resulting inexorbatant costs that would deny scouts the chance to participate due tofinancial status.

Feb 15, 2012 6:43 PM

222 A shirt that last is more important. Feb 15, 2012 6:34 PM

223 Uniforms need to be ethically produces, but they also need to be affordablefor all members, which they aren't really

Feb 15, 2012 6:28 PM

224 gfgfg Feb 15, 2012 6:26 PM

225 they need to be reasonably priced, but I don't want to know that a child hasmade them in china for $1 a day or something

Feb 15, 2012 6:21 PM

226 Although cost is a barrier to many families that might preclude them fromscouting

Feb 15, 2012 6:18 PM

227 we are bining ripped off from snowgum they don't want us Feb 15, 2012 6:16 PM

228 price most important Feb 15, 2012 6:14 PM

229 Quality material at a cheaper cost is best Feb 15, 2012 6:10 PM

230 Not hard to have ethically produced items nowadays Feb 15, 2012 6:09 PM

231 good quality at a great price Feb 15, 2012 6:08 PM

232 made in Australia preferred Feb 15, 2012 6:07 PM

233 would it be hypocritical of scouts not to support local and fair trade which isbeneficial to both the environment and local economy??

Feb 15, 2012 6:05 PM

234 Quality is also important to me. The poloshirts fade. The button down onesare much better.

Feb 15, 2012 6:03 PM

235 I think that going to cheap will result in uncomfortable uniform and it may fallapart quickly however I don't think we need to go right to the top as we doneed to be a but lenient with wearing them camping etc.

Feb 15, 2012 5:56 PM

236 No sweat shops. National and Branch must subsidise if necessary. Feb 15, 2012 5:55 PM

237 What about lighter easy care pants for the adults. S.A. Scout Shop has justadvertised such zip off pants for up to size 16.

Feb 15, 2012 5:35 PM

238 Families need to be able to afford to purchase the uniform Feb 15, 2012 5:22 PM

239 im not for unethical working conditions but our group is from a poor area andstruggle to pay for uniforms as it is - if there was a price increase we wouldloose a lot of kids from scouting in our area.

Feb 15, 2012 5:09 PM

147 of 156


240 keep it made in aus Feb 15, 2012 5:00 PM

241 Fair and Ethical working conditions should be paramount in any productionprocess, Scouts or otherwise. The uniform does not make the scout.

Feb 15, 2012 4:38 PM

242 It needs to still look professional and last but not expensive. Everything isstarting to add up these days!

Feb 15, 2012 4:21 PM

243 scouting has to be affordable Feb 15, 2012 4:18 PM

244 At the moment a shirt costs around $45 from Snowgum and similar on theinternet- give or take price depending on postage handling. For some peoplethis is very expensice, especially considering some sections, such as thejoey section, you only wear the shirt for 2 years. As good as the new uniformlooks, the old uniform was a more financial viable option as you only neededone shirt for all sections. Then take into consideration the growth rate ofchildren. But at the same time the unform should be made in fair workingconditions and preferably in Australia.

Feb 15, 2012 4:15 PM

245 If I cared about sweatshops, i'd donate money to overseas aid programs. Idon't.

Feb 15, 2012 4:14 PM

246 A cheap but ethically sound option would be best would it? Feb 15, 2012 4:03 PM

247 As long as its not bought as a financial venture just to make money Feb 15, 2012 3:56 PM

248 i rather the uniform not be too expensive because it can get ruined and lostquite easlily at scouting activities.

Feb 15, 2012 3:52 PM

249 Not a big consideration to me. Feb 15, 2012 3:51 PM

250 It really doesn't matter to me. Feb 15, 2012 3:46 PM

251 I have only owned 3 uniforms, 2 of the old and one of the new, this meantthat it didnt really matter too much how much it cost. However, now thatyouth members have to buy a new shirt each time they change section, thecost has become far more important. I still feel however that ensuring ouruniform is produced under fair and ethical working conditions is vitallyimportant as I feel it goes against the spirit of the movement to produceclothing in any other way.

Feb 15, 2012 3:14 PM

252 The uniform should be robust to survive activity and wash & iron back to neatand tidy

Feb 15, 2012 3:11 PM

253 The colour bands on the sleeves automatically put the cost up, kids do not allgrow at exactly the same rate and I know several kids who had two cubuniforms and then two scout uniforms because they grew substantially in themiddle of the sections.

Feb 15, 2012 3:06 PM

254 needs to be accessible for all, however the company has a image andreputation to uphold

Feb 15, 2012 3:06 PM

255 at the of the day scouts cost a fair bit for most people-big interstate andinternational events- and well i dont think people care as long as it will lastand doesnt cost to much

Feb 15, 2012 2:38 PM

148 of 156


256 Quality of fabric is also an important factor Feb 15, 2012 2:33 PM

257 Its always good to have something made locally Scouts support localbuisness

Feb 15, 2012 2:26 PM

258 you can still have ethically produced clothing at a cheap cost Feb 15, 2012 2:24 PM

259 it doesn't have to be "at any cost" to be ethically responsible Feb 15, 2012 1:58 PM

260 Needs to be a balance between cost and where it is made. Cheap Clothingwill not withstand the rigors that a uniform is subject to.

Feb 15, 2012 1:55 PM

261 None Feb 15, 2012 1:50 PM

262 Australian made would be good so we can show support for scoutingfamilies struggling for work.

Feb 15, 2012 1:32 PM

263 I would prefer the uniform to be made of good quality materials and ethicallyproduced.

Feb 15, 2012 1:13 PM

264 Remember that alot of scouting families aren't well off, and this must be partof costing, maybe we could set up a second hand shop to help families out(we do at my scout group).

Feb 15, 2012 12:41 PM

265 not all cheap surpliers operate unethical businesses. Feb 15, 2012 12:25 PM

266 while it is good to know that the people who make the shirts are treatedfairly, the cost of shirts is important as they arent cheap and some peoplecant afford them

Feb 15, 2012 12:24 PM

267 Quality is more important than either Feb 15, 2012 12:15 PM

268 My impression of Snowgum's manufacturing methods - Scout uniform aside -they have fancy words about the way they do things and say they supportany strikes their workers in their factories in Vietnam make about wages, butthe fact is that they are still paying established factories who use staff thatSnowgum do not have any responsibility or obligation to, and are gettingpaid horrendous wages for unbelievably long, tedious hours of repetitivework. I don't think it's something Scouts Australia should be supporting, Ididn't even realise that Scouts Australia had handed the manufacturing overto Snowgum until I received an email about this survey.

Feb 15, 2012 11:53 AM

269 I would be so proud to wear an ethically produced uniform Feb 15, 2012 11:51 AM

270 You want the uniform to be good quality and something for the members tobe proud of as it is worn on all the official and formal occasions.

Feb 15, 2012 11:47 AM

271 Parents often state they are having trouble affording the uniform. It needs tobe cheap, ethical, suitable for the climate, easy wash and quick dry (pantsthat sturdy but are quick dry are more useful to scouts who wear thereuniform out at camps and hikes and Jamborees etc).

Feb 15, 2012 11:43 AM

272 We are Scouts and can set an example to. others Feb 15, 2012 11:30 AM

273 It needs to be affordable enough for everyone. Feb 15, 2012 11:20 AM

149 of 156


274 Having uniforms meeting Fair Trade means that our members are living outa practical example of meeting their promise of Duty to My God. Why,because most spiritual faiths believe all people are brothers and sisters aschildren of a supreme being and therefore we should care for these whosuffer - so if we can help them we are living out our promise.

Feb 15, 2012 11:15 AM

275 I completely want the uniform to be made under fair and ethical workingconditions, but being a rover, and like many in the section, I am a unistudent. This means I'm short on funds so a cheaper uniform is alsoimportant. Maybe it could be subsidised through our fees or other means tocreate cheaper costs.

Feb 15, 2012 11:15 AM

276 We should ensure that the uniform production is aligned with the ideal of theScout Law and Promise.

Feb 15, 2012 11:03 AM

277 As a Uni student, as well as being a Rover, the price is too expensive. Theshirt in my wardrobe is worth more than anything else I own, and I wear itless that anything I own. I want things made in Australia, but I doubt that'swhere the shirts are made, so really, cost is the most important thing

Feb 15, 2012 11:02 AM

278 Needs to be a quality garment at reasonable cost that will take the wear andtear of active children for a suitable length of time.

Feb 15, 2012 10:53 AM

279 The organisation needs to not only be seen to but actually live by its Promiseand Law. Definition of ethically produced needs clarification.

Feb 15, 2012 10:47 AM

280 You only have to buy a shirt once for each section you belong to, so theoutright cost isn't that important

Feb 15, 2012 10:41 AM

281 Safe and "reasonable" work conditions is everybody's right. Feb 15, 2012 10:36 AM

282 many families don't find it easy to cover all the costs. Increasing the cost ofthe uniform will mean another cost to the new starter scout.

Feb 15, 2012 10:34 AM

283 I am happy to pay for ethics and quality Feb 15, 2012 10:27 AM

284 cheap wears out, and i put my uniform through a lot, so it needs to be tough. Feb 15, 2012 10:24 AM

285 uniform isnt exactly cheap anyway, we dont wear it that often. Feb 15, 2012 10:18 AM

286 While I love the shirts, the cost of having to buy a new one every time you goup a section can be costly. They also show wear and fade too easily. At leastwith the old uniform, you could use it longer. As a very active youth member,when I was younger, my uniform lasted me all the way through Venturersand Rovers. Don't forget one of the main reasons for a uniform, was to makeit cheep and so you could not tell if the wearer was rich or poor.

Feb 15, 2012 9:51 AM

287 Dear Kids Club, I dont think the battle of cost vs ethical working conditions isone which you can adequately make a decision on for the majority of parentsand young people in Australia. Scouting should be affordable.

Feb 15, 2012 9:37 AM

288 I would prefer it were cheaper, but you only have to buy one shirt for eachsection you are in so it is money well spent if you attend a lot of events inwhich you need to wear it. So i would prefer it were ethically produced.

290 Cheapest possible (at the expense of the human conditions andenvironment) seems to go against all Scouting principles; if we can getethically-produced then we MUST make sure to advertise that (e.g. "this shirtis $10 more but is ethical/green/etc").

Feb 15, 2012 9:24 AM

291 Not a regular purchase, cost not an issue Feb 15, 2012 9:17 AM

292 I'd also rather a high quality uniform over a cheap one. Feb 15, 2012 9:00 AM

293 Im pretty happy as long as it is made well. A shirt that will last as long as Ineed it to.

Feb 15, 2012 8:46 AM

294 Assumption behind this questions is problematic. I'm sure if uniformproduction was handled by a company like Aldi they would find ethicalproduction and it would be a very low price.

Feb 15, 2012 8:44 AM

295 The price of the uniform does not concern me. Feb 15, 2012 8:44 AM

296 could be cheaper Feb 15, 2012 8:38 AM

297 In an ideal world I would choose 10 in a second, however we are not allmade of money and many families would not be able to afford uniformsproduced ethically at any cost, especially as they have to buy a new shirtevery time they move up a section

Feb 15, 2012 8:08 AM

300 It needs to meet the best of both....as it would be impractical to pay toomuch, but working conditions are just as important

Feb 15, 2012 7:56 AM

301 I'm a university student, price trumps everything. Feb 15, 2012 7:27 AM

302 The uniforms have to have a price so everyone who wants to be in thescouting movement can actually afford it or else you could end up loosingmembers (Rich vs. Poor). If they were to be produced as ethically aspossible then the Scouting movement should consider paying for theuniforms for people or a percentage of the uniforms..

Feb 15, 2012 7:24 AM

303 Quality is also important Feb 15, 2012 6:45 AM

304 If our uniform is too overpriced it has the potential to turn perspective newmembers away

310 Would prefer quality over both. Something which is practical overpresentable

Feb 15, 2012 12:18 AM

311 Doesn't matter where it's made or how as long as it's a decent well-builtpiece of clothing.

Feb 14, 2012 11:35 PM

312 Its Important to have the uniform cheap, however with now the purchase of adifferenet shirt for each section it makes a burden on familes and scoutingmemebers to purchase shirts at a high cost esp after insurance, subs, majorevents and other scouting related costs

Feb 14, 2012 11:28 PM

313 No real feelings but would be nice if Australian made Feb 14, 2012 11:24 PM

314 Ethically it's hard to answer as it's produced in China rather than in Australia. Feb 14, 2012 11:21 PM

315 both are good - but you get what you pay for - a balance is needed betweenhard wearing and lasting long enough to grow out of - a bit tricky I agree

Feb 14, 2012 11:13 PM

317 nothing Feb 14, 2012 10:43 PM

318 Work place health and safety, and fair pay is more important than the pricetag. However the goal should still be good quality.

Feb 14, 2012 10:35 PM

319 I would like the uniform to be as cheap as possible, produced under fair andethical conditions...

Feb 14, 2012 10:35 PM

320 In order to keep parents or youth members (such as rovers) who are ontighter budgets in the movement the uniforms have to be as cheep aspossible though also durable under the extremes that people in the scoutmovement put it through.

Feb 14, 2012 10:23 PM

321 whilst **I** might be able to afford to be ethical, there are many many peoplein Australia who cannot afford the uniform, so making it more expensive isdifficult for many

Feb 14, 2012 10:19 PM

322 Make them in Australia.. Feb 14, 2012 10:10 PM

323 try to keep it austrailan made, as they are australian scouts Feb 14, 2012 10:03 PM

324 Affordability is important. People are unhappy with the cost as it is, being aleader in a low socio-economic area parents find it hard enough to pay billslet alone spend a lot on uniforms

326 And made in australua. Feb 14, 2012 9:47 PM

327 To lower costs could we sell them through scouts, online or something?Basically cu-out the middlemen (snowgum) to lower costs.

Feb 14, 2012 9:47 PM

328 There needs to be a middle ground but the production should be consideredcarefully.

Feb 14, 2012 9:44 PM

329 difficult question as we need to keep uniforms at low cost withoutcompromising ethics

Feb 14, 2012 9:43 PM

330 i think the shirts need to be made in an effiecant and well produced way asthey neeed to be able to stand the rough and tough of Venturer activities

Feb 14, 2012 9:36 PM

331 To ME, it's what is the most ethical. To MOST, they would like it to beethically made, but due to financial pressures would like it to be cheaper.

Feb 14, 2012 9:23 PM

332 Should be made in Australia as is an Australian uniform and not China andlook cheap Chinese, especially the polo shirts are.

Feb 14, 2012 9:22 PM

333 Since the uniform is an investment for several years in the particularsection,not just some cheap shirt, it should be well made and paid for.

Feb 14, 2012 9:07 PM

334 Fair Work, Fair Pay Feb 14, 2012 8:56 PM

335 Need a durable quality. Mine has lasted many years and has not faded. Iwear it regularly. Would not like to see the quality compromised.

Feb 14, 2012 8:42 PM

336 Preferable to have all shirts made here in Australia, but understand that ifthat meant that they were 4 times the cost of ones made in China that itwould be prohibitive for some parents in some groups, and the aim is to haveas many people from all walks of life engaged in scouting, not having tomake the decision not to join because of the cost of uniform.

Feb 14, 2012 8:37 PM

337 now that parents have to buy 4 different shirts this can get quite expensive,especially at $40 each for the nice shirts so a cheaper option is much moreattractive. Especially as when the new uniform was introduced it was sold toeveryone as being cheaper to buy

Feb 14, 2012 8:36 PM

338 I'd like to see a happy medium. I don't want to see anyone ripped off in themaking, but I would like to see a quality product. At the same time, the shirtsneed to be affordable for the actual Members to purchase, especially whenthey have to buy a new shirt at the commencement of each new section. Notto mention families who have more than one child in the movement requiringa shirt.

Feb 14, 2012 8:35 PM

339 Consider school gray pants, cheep,available, hard wearing, and does notshow dirt

Feb 14, 2012 7:53 PM

340 The price needs to be cheap enough to be afforded by all members butproduced in a way that is not harmful or unethical.

Feb 14, 2012 7:52 PM

341 as scouts, we're seen in society as being fair, ethical and moral. How can weclaim to be so if our uniforms are made from the exploitation of workers inthird world countries? Is a scout not considerate? We should consider theplight of others in regards to our uniforms - the symbols of our scouting to the

public - and make sure that our organisation isn't profiting off of unfair andexploitative slave labour.

342 made in australia would be best, scouts australia supporting aussie jobs Feb 14, 2012 7:50 PM

343 best price for quality atm I feel the price is excessive. Feb 14, 2012 7:48 PM

344 I would love to be ethical, but frankly, I can barely afford the costs as it is Feb 14, 2012 7:41 PM

345 Uniforms for 3 kids can't be too expensive but some ethical workingconditions should come into play...

Feb 14, 2012 7:38 PM

346 There obviously needs to be some compromise -- many scouting families willbe strongly impacted by cost (current costs are ridiculous!), but it alsodepends on what you mean by 'ethical working conditions' -- if the shirts aremade in apalling conditions, it does not sit very well with the aims ofScouting...tough one!

Feb 14, 2012 7:35 PM

347 The scouts creed tends towards ethical behaviour but the reality is manyscouting families need to save whereever possible, especially those thatwould most benefit from scouting.

Feb 14, 2012 7:29 PM

348 it does not matter how much it costs it is horrible i have personally hadpeople tell me how bad it looks since you stupidity changed from the khaki

Feb 14, 2012 7:26 PM

349 As long as its reasonable in price and good quality Feb 14, 2012 7:20 PM

350 Scouts should make ethical construction of uniforms their prime concerns. Feb 14, 2012 7:15 PM

351 They should be Australian MADE!! Why would you even consider havingthem made elsewhere!!

Feb 14, 2012 7:11 PM

352 i don't want to buy a new uniform because of the fact that it comes apartbecause of crap material

Feb 14, 2012 6:56 PM

353 Not everyone is rich and can afford an expensive shirt, especially if beingreplaced every 4 years or so. Price does matter.

Feb 14, 2012 6:55 PM

354 Scouts is for everyone so it should not be selective by an expensive uniform.But as a scout things should be done ethically

Feb 14, 2012 6:44 PM

355 Although I am concerned about ethical work conditions, it can put people offfrom joining the scouts if the shirts are too expensive.

Feb 14, 2012 6:38 PM

356 The better the quality of the uniform is better Feb 14, 2012 6:25 PM

357 It is important that the items are ethically produced, however it also needs tobe affordable. If we can find a happy medium that would be good.

Feb 14, 2012 6:21 PM

358 Made on oz would be nice - oz manufacturing needs a lot of support atpresent

Feb 14, 2012 6:21 PM

362 There is nothing unethical about using machines unless it is for Skynet andthe impending Judgement Day as they can be quite cheap to run.Profiteering from the manufacturing of Scout Uniforms is unfair andunethical.

Feb 14, 2012 5:44 PM

363 How can Scouts Australia, A company which aims to give a fair go to allpeople and not discriminate, produce clothing under un-fair conditions?

Feb 14, 2012 5:42 PM

364 The uniform should be affordable for families but consideration should betaken into producing them ethically.

Feb 14, 2012 5:42 PM

365 The newer uniform was boasted to save money, such as reusing youruniform between sections. This isn't possible due to the color styles imposed.The cost of the shirts are not equal across roles and sections. A large cubshirt is not the sane price in Rovers, despite being the same fit.

Feb 14, 2012 5:35 PM

366 Id rather purchase a quality made shirt here in australia then somethingmade overseas

Feb 14, 2012 5:22 PM

367 Both sides are important, but they dont have to be produced by the kingstaylor to be considered ethical

Feb 14, 2012 5:19 PM

368 a cheap shirt looks cheap and will not wear well (fading and miss-shapen),better quality will wash and wear and last through scouting

Feb 14, 2012 5:19 PM

369 i think it should be at a fair cost and fair to all workers Feb 14, 2012 5:13 PM

370 Scouting is about a lot more than just a uniform. As long as it portrays agood formal image and looks nice I'm happy.

Feb 14, 2012 5:06 PM

371 I have no problem with the shirt, I am more than williing to wear in public, Iam proud to advertise I am a part of Scouting

Feb 14, 2012 5:06 PM

372 Good quality long lasting Feb 14, 2012 5:03 PM

373 I think we should get epilettes (badges) for leaders to wear, to show whatsection they are in. Would help identify them. Queensland have them, sowhat about the rest of Australia?

380 I have put 10 but please keep in mind that if an ethically produced shirt costs2 - 3 times the cost of a non-ethically produced shirt then I would go with thecheaper option but if an ethically produced shirt is only a little bit more than acheap one then I'd by the ethically produced one.

Feb 14, 2012 4:26 PM

381 You wear it for quite a number of years, so i wouldnt mind paying more for it Feb 14, 2012 4:23 PM

382 Ethical production is important, but costs must be affordable Feb 14, 2012 4:08 PM

383 None Feb 14, 2012 4:05 PM

384 cost needs to be kept at a reasonable price due to many scouting familiesrequiring several uniforms

Feb 14, 2012 4:05 PM

385 doesnt matter the cost because u have to buy it anyway Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

386 hate that our uniforms are not made in Australia as we were first told theywould be.

Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

387 You could cut done the cost if you didn't require a new shirt for every section Feb 14, 2012 4:01 PM

388 Those of us in the developed world should not be queasy about paying moremoney so that those in developing countries are not disadvantaged, abusedor kept as slaves. As members of the Scouting movement, we should bechampioning the rights of these people by sourcing our materials from ethicalproducers, and publicising that proudly.

Feb 14, 2012 3:58 PM

389 australian made prefered Feb 14, 2012 3:43 PM

390 better quality along with ethical production, even at a higher price will alwaysbe a better outcome. Would BP rely on the cheapest boots, knife, compassetc. ?

Feb 14, 2012 3:43 PM

391 quality is most important so they don't fall apart Feb 14, 2012 3:16 PM

392 It is a balance, Scouting should maintain an ethical standard but also needsto be affordable for it's members.

Feb 14, 2012 2:54 PM

393 we should be able to find ethically produced uniforms at a reasonable cost;or have the option to make our own from an approved pattern.

Feb 14, 2012 2:20 PM

394 Obviously I would like the uniform to be as cheap as possible, but it shouldalso be ethically produced, but if either of these impact on the quality of theuniform then, for me, quality has to come first.

Feb 14, 2012 1:50 PM

395 I know we cant expect a lot now days, but if we could find a sustainable pairof pants for the youth in the 30 dollar range, and maybe offer them in the'changing over period' for a little less till a cut off zone, it could work.

Feb 14, 2012 12:59 PM

401 Haven't really thought about it much but being a uni student, cost isimportant to me. I think the shirts are really expensive but I guess I won't bebuying another one any time soon, I am sure my Rover one will last me untilI'm too old for it anymore!

Feb 14, 2012 11:15 AM

Feb 14, 2012 11:01 AM

403 Australian made is important but with the cost of scouting increasing theprice of uniform needs to be considered.

Feb 14, 2012 10:50 AM

404 I think the uniform is too expensive for what it is - wasn't one of the reasonsfor change to reduce the cost? The shirt seems to be more expensive now.

Feb 14, 2012 10:49 AM

405 I believe that, if possible, our Australian Scout uniform should be made withinAustralia.
