Schools will have the autonomy to choose whether students rock the traditional Scout uniform or opt for a chill, contemporary style. factors like weather conditions and parental readiness will be considered in the decision-making process.

The new uniform rules offer some flexibility. Schools can pair Scout scarves and hats with school uniforms, sportswear, or even local ethnic clothing, depending on the local context. Keep in mind, though, the Scout identity will remain with the use of those scarves and hats.

The Council of State is currently reviewing the amendments to the ministerial regulations. Once they wrap up and give their stamp of approval, the proposal will head to the cabinet for the green light.

This change is expected to happen just in time for the upcoming school year, set to kick off around mid-May. It's all part of an initiative to modernize and adapt to current needs while preserving traditions.
