Fun Spring Uniforms for Girl Scout Leaders

Happy Spring everyone! I am always so excited for this time of year, as I am sure many of you are like me and are sick and tired of cold and snow. I am a preschool teacher, and keeping the kids inside for a good part of the winter makes all of us a bit needy for sunshine. Even if the thermometer has not risen much above freezing, I know that in a a few short weeks that will change. I will be trading in my sweaters and long sleeve shirts for short sleeves!

Many leaders like to wear some kind of uniform to indicate that they are a leader. Here are some comfortable tee shirts that you can pair with jeans or khakis that lets the girls and anyone else who sees it that you are a Girl Scout leader. Easy dressing for meetings and outings!

Like almost every product on Zazzle, you can customize the tee shirt. You can choose from different styles of shirts, as well as colors. You can also add your troop name!

Another topic of conversation that frequently comes up in the beginning of the scouting year is what kind of uniform a Girl Scout leader should wear, if she wears one at all. To be honest, I have never worn anything that resembles a uniform. When my girls were younger, I typically came straight from work, with a short pit stop to grab a cup of coffee from home. Wearing anything nice to preschool is just not something I did, as our motto is "dress for mess".  I did not dress sloppy, but nothing nice, like silk pants or a blouse, like I would wear to my elementary school teacher job back in the day.

Also, cost is another factor in deciding whether or not you want to purchase anything official from the Girl Scout Shop. The items for adult leaders are quite expensive, at least from my vantage point. During most of my years as a leader, money was incredibly tight for my family. Spending fifty dollars on a navy cardigan was not happening, especially when I could purchase something similar for much less money. If you are looking for something "scouty" to wear on your Girl Scout outings and at your meetings, you might like some of these tee shirts. 

*Please note that these shirts are all customizable! You can change the colors and the wording, as well as the fonts to suit your style. You can even change the style of the shirt and add your troop number. 

*Zazzle frequently has coupon codes to reduce the cost of your shirts.

As a Daisy Girl Scout leader, I imagine that you are both excited and a bit nervous for this new adventure you are going on. I know I was! 

Getting ready for your meeting should always be done ahead of time. Buying the necessary craft items, having the book you are reading on hand, having a finished craft project for the girls to see, and making sure your leader bag is packed and ready to go are just some of the things you need to be prepared.

Another thing you might want to consider is what you are wearing. The girls are in their adorable blue tunics or vests...should you have a uniform as well?

In the photo above, which was taken about 50 years ago, it was de rigueur for leaders to also be dressed in a Girl Scout uniform, complete with hat! (notice the gloves on two of the girls?)

The photo below has two leaders in full uniform as well. Can you imagine going to your meeting today after going to work or running around with the kids dressed like this?

I am a firm believer in looking good and being comfortable. That does not mean you have to wear sloppy clothes!

For younger girls, I think it would be fun to have the leaders wear some kind uniform that ties everyone together. It can be your "go to" outfit for your field trips and meetings.
