Usually, this consists of a beige shirt or blouse with their badges sewn on, which they pair with their Unit scarf \u2013 if they\u2019re an independent Unit - or Group scarf, if their Unit is merged with a Scout Troop. This will vary slightly if your Explorer Unit is part of the Air Scouts or Sea Scouts. See below for uniform diagrams.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAlongside their shirts, Explorers might wear the accompanying blue uniform trousers or skirt, or they might save their uniform bottoms to wear for special occasions like awards ceremonies and public events \u2013 choosing to wear something more casual with their shirt during the week.
