UNIFORMS

A Uniformed Organisation

We are a uniformed organisation. To paraphrase the founder Baden Powell, “the uniform makes for sisterhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences of class and country.” Girls and Leaders wear uniform to all meetings and events. These uniforms are practical and suitable for all of the activities we partake in. We regularly review our uniforms to ensure they change as appropriate to the times.
