Girl Guides around the World: Uniforms

This is my third post on uniforms out of five. I still have to write about uniforms in Pakistan, Burundi and the topic of this post, Australia. So the Australian Girl Guides is different to Ireland and the United States of America. In Australia they don't separate Girl Guides up by age group into specific groups like Ladybirds, Brownies and Guides in Ireland, they are all part of the same youth section. They still do have different options of uniform for different ages.

The Girls can either wear a blue and yellow polo-shirt of a blue and yellow v-neck t-shirt. They must wear a pair of navy pants, shorts or a skirt, depending on whats appropriate. They also have a sash to put their badges on to. This is the basic uniform for the Girl Guides in Australia.

The next type of uniform is for tween's. they have a chioce of a blue and orange polo-shirt or v-neck t-shirt. They also have to wear navy pants, shorts of a skirt. The final part of this uniform is a navy sash.

Teens can wear a navy and orange polo-shirt or v-neck, or a blue short sleeved shirt.

The youth uniform is a polar fleece that is navy and orange or else a hoodie that is also navy and orange. Then they have a pair of board shorts that are navy. The uniform also consists of a navy and blue shoulder bag and a navy spray jacket.

The final uniform is for adults. It is made up of a spray jacket and a navy and blue polar fleece or hoodie. Then there is a polo-shirt or v-neck t-shirt that is navy and blue. They also have a badge tab. They can choose to wear a striped shirt that can be either short sleeve or long sleeved. the bottom half of the uniform can be either a pair of navy cargo pants or navy everyday stretch pants.
