New uniform reveal: a versatile top for volunteers

We're celebrating Volunteers' Week with a special reveal. 

This is the final part in our series of sneak peeks at some of the design details before our brand-new uniform launches this summer and we've saved the best till last! 

We’re revealing a whole new garment ahead of launch, just for volunteers. 

We know from your feedback that uniform needs to comfy to wear and make your life easier in all settings. From running around in unit meetings, to getting cosy around the camp fire on adventures, your uniform has to be practical and comfortable. The whole uniform range has been co-created with members and girls, ensuring it's wearable and ready for your day-to-day guiding life, no matter what you’re up to.  

Get to know our new uniform item and find out what makes it special, including the unique features designed especially for guiding. And remember, this is just 1 item! It won’t be the only uniform on offer for volunteers – look out for lots more coming when we launch in July. 

Introducing the 'snugby' 

The snugby is a snug sweatshirt with a rugby shirt-style collar. It’s classic, sporty and relaxed, suiting volunteers at all ages. Do you remember the Girlguiding rugby top in our old range? We’re often asked to bring it back, so the snugby has been designed especially for us by Hemingway Design team with that request in mind.  

It’s a versatile piece that can be worn at any guiding occasion, whether casual or smart, and keeps you nice and warm too. 

The snugby can be worn by any volunteer, regardless of what role you’re in. It’s one of multiple uniform tops designed for volunteers, alongside other options to wear on bottom.

Key details about our uniform launch 

The full uniform launch is coming up soon at the end of July so mark your calendars! We can’t wait to share it. What you need to know:  

• Members will get to see the full uniform first in a reveal call on Monday 27 July. More details coming soon. 
• The new range will be available to order from Tuesday 28 July. 
• The Rangers, young volunteer and volunteer ranges will be available in sizes 6-32. 

Remember, you don’t have to buy the whole uniform immediately. You can keep wearing the current range as long as you like. All you need to wear to be in uniform is a top from your section or role, and there’ll be different options to choose from. Every member will have a t-shirt available, and these are the most affordable items.
