With cost of living expenses increasing all the time we are very conscious that the cost of new uniform may become a challenge for some. We are also aware that some uniform hardly sees any use and, rather than dispose of it, it makes much more sense for it to be reused. This service is only open to members of Dringhouses Scouts and associated Explorer Scout Units. If your child outgrows their uniform or changes section and needs a new uniform then this service enables you to swap your current uniform for another used item of uniform. Note this will only be for second hand (used) uniform items.
How the uniform exchange works
Check the sheet below to see what uniform is available, if there is something you want then complete the form at the bottom of the page to request it.
If you have an item to exchange then add those details in the form in the appropriate field, nothing to exchange then don’t worry, when you’re done with the uniform just donate it back to the Group.
A member of the team will be notified and you will get an email about how to collect the item of uniform and where to drop of the exchanged item.
You can also donate items that you no longer need if you wish to using the same form.
Donations and Exchanges
Before donating or exchanging an item please note that used items should meet the following conditions:
- Items should not contain any holes
- No seams coming apart
- No large stains or other damage
- The fabric should not be too thin, this happens as older items wear out
- The fabric should not be too faded
- Name tags should be removed but please leave in labels so new names can be added (and care instructions can be read)
- Badges should be removed
- Please wash the items before dropping off (no need to iron).
When dropping off there will be a uniform exchange box in the Hall, please put donated/ exchanged items in the box. Items for collection will be clearly marked with the recipients name and you will receive an email letting you know when you can collect it.
