Uniforms - The United Sates of America

As you would know from my previous post I am writing about the uniforms in five different countries. I have already written about the Guide uniforms in Ireland. As you can guess from the title this post will be about uniforms in the United States of America. The Guide uniform in America is very different from the uniform in Ireland. You start in Daisy's at the age of 5. For this age group the uniform consists of four parts, the first part is you have a vest or tunic, this is blue. Then you have to wear an official white polo-shirt. You also have a blue beanie and a pair of blue tracksuit bottoms or a blue skirt.

Then when you turn 7 you move up to the brownies. This uniform is very similar to the Daisy uniform. This uniform has a brown vest and blue shirt. You also have a brown sash to put all your badges on to. You also wear a brown skort and you have a brown beanie. The final piece of the uniform is a brownie tie.

At the age of 9 you become a Junior. The Junior uniform is the green version of the brownies uniform. This means that they have a green vest, sash, and skort. Then you have a white polo-shirt.

A Cadette is 11 to 14 years old. The Cadette uniform is made up of a sandy colour vest and sash. Also a white polo-shirt and a scarf. From a Cadette you move to a Senior. The Senior uniform is the exact same as the Cadette uniforms as is the next stage up. From a Senior you move to an ambassador.

When you turn 18 you become a leader known as an adult volunteer/ member. These can be both men and women. They have a jacket and a scarf.
