The Guide Uniform
The Guide uniform is a range of mix and match pieces and includes short sleeved t-shirt, long sleeved t-shirt, hooded jacket, dress and skirt. It is not essential to buy every piece but the we recommend a t-shirt and hooded jacket, as a minimum. These can be worn with appropriate bottom half, depending on the activity.
A Guide is not required to wear a uniform until she makes her promise (usually 4-6 weeks after joining) but she can wear it before then if she wishes.
Uniform can be bought from the Devon Scout and Guide Shop, Thomas Moore in Exeter, direct from trading, or you may be able to find second hand uniform on e-bay or from Guides going up to Senior Section. Please note the old Navy blue is no longer uniform, so the royal blue and red as below should be bought. We sometimes have a stock of second hand uniform, please ask.
Due to previous instances of injury, we are now requesting that Guides wear trainers or school shoes to meetings. The active nature of Guide meetings requires appropriate footwear and the leaders cannot be held responsible for any injury occurring due to inappropriate footwear.
Heelies and flip-flops are not recommended footwear and any Guides wearing these will not be permitted to take part in active activities such as games or outdoor walks unless they bring a change of shoes.
Our Promise
The Guide Promise is very important and when you make your promise it should be really special.
Guide Promise
I promise that I will do my best,
to be true to myself and develop my beliefs,
to serve the Queen and my community,
to help other people and
to keep the Guide Law.
There are six Guide laws
It is very important that every Guide understands what she is saying when she makes her promise. We will run some activities to help her understand the promise. She will receive a badge and certificate to remind you of this special occasion.
