Uniforms

New members or those moving up to a new section may need to get a new uniform. At each age level, there are some second-hand uniforms (mainly Beaver & Cub jumpers) available. If you are interested in one of these, please get in touch with the section leader (Marc/Anna).

If you would like to get a new uniform, you can buy online from the Scout Shop (http://www.thescoutshop.ie/).

The shop visits various parts of the country too and will be in Galway tomorrow Saturday, Oct 31. It will be at Renmore Scout Den (map below) from 12-2pm.
