However a more cohesive look across guides, SS and leaders would surely be beneficial with a 'smart' uniform for official occasions (we are always outdone by scouting! - sorry!)

I have owned a SS hoodie for about 8 months and, on measuring, it has shrunk from a 14 to a 10! It's a good job I bought it big! Please can this be sorted?

I also think that the uniforms should come with a decent area like a sash to place our badges on. The price of a uniform is definitely too high for the current quality and I agree that that should come down unless the quality goes up.

The uniforms are awful ... the quality is very poor, one wash and the brownie long sleeved top is big enough for 2 brownies! The guides look scruffy , especially on parades where there is multitude of coloured' bottoms' as there is no uniform for them to wear ...I have seen girls in tartan mini skirts, furry boots and bright pink tights and trousers.... but if no uniform is available and it is left to the girls to decide...then this is what they choose ! It is EMBARRASSING!! Especially when the other uniformed organisations turn up looking so smart!I bought my daughter a pair of cargo trousers the scouts wear, which she loved as the pockets were useful and they were good quality & smart she wore them twice as no one else was wearing them.The brownie sash...how are we meant to encourage the girls to sew on their own badges when the parents struggle with the job? I'm all for the sash as it does look good and saves the clothes as when they are outgrown or look scruffy the badges are still in good condition.Better fabric & fastening is required!!

New is out of the question. But because the styles keep changing, they are left behind in older-style uniform, and face the embarassment of wearing faded garments, or no uniform at all, to events . . .

A basic top - option of long/short sleeve
A gillet or hoodie - for warmth and sewing badges on.

I think there is too much choice, which makes us not look like one unit!

A sash for rainbows, guides and brownies. I like sash's personally.

That's it. I don't agree with the uniformed trousers though.
