Uniforms

Adventurer Uniform

The uniform makes the Adventurer Club real to its members, especially the children. The uniform becomes an emblem of a standard, builds loyalty to the cub, and brings members into a sense of community. The uniform should always be neat, clean, and worn with pride.

Full dress uniforms should be worn for the following occasions:

  • Regular Adventurer meetings (as designated on the schedule)
  • Special services (Induction, Adventurer Day, Investiture, etc.)
  • Public gathering when any or all act as:
    • Messengers
    • Ushers
    • Guards of honor
    • Color guards
  • When the club participates in community service activities, such as Ingathering, distributing food baskets, delivering bouquets, passing out literature, and singing bands or sunshine bands.
  • On occasions as specified by Adventurer staff officers

Do I have to buy a new uniform for my Adventurer?

Clubs have lots of options when it comes to uniforms. One option is to have a staff member who is responsible for measuring each Adventurer and ordering uniforms for each. Another option is to have parents purchase uniforms for their child(ren) that are in the club.

Here are some options that can reduce uniform expenses:

  • Provide rental options
  • Arrange a time for parents to trade uniforms
  • Set-up a system where the club loans out uniforms

The key to any of these options is to have a staff member who is responsible for implementing the plan your clubs adopts.
