Uniform on ANZAC Day
I've been asked about uniform for adults, and what is appropriate.
TOP HALF
We have two options for tops - either the navy and sky blue adult polo shirt OR the white pin striped shirt. An adult Tab can be worn on either, on the right side of the shirt.
Hats are to be navy.
If a jacket is needed, the Guide fleecy or hoodie, or navy blazer/jacket are preferred.
BOTTOM HALF
As for the Guides, navy bottoms and black shoes please. We ask the girls to look neat, and don't let those in jeans march.
UNIFORM FOR GIRLS
This was detailed in documents linked to my original flyer.
