Uniform

The MedVent uniform is a visible recognition of an individual who is an active member of our program, and takes the time to learn and grow their first aid skills regularly.  As such members must always wear the uniform with pride, and take care to always look and act professionally regardless of the setting.

In addition to the items listed under Class B:

  • 10th Waterloo Scouting Group neckerchief

This uniform class is for formal events, ceremonies and other Scouting events. For example:
investitures, award ceremonies, Group Banquet, etc. As with all classes of uniform, if a decision

decision to all members equally.

This uniform class is used in situations where the weather is too hot for a complete Class B

uniform. These are situations where the heat of the environment may endanger our member’s

health while on site. In these situations, the youth in charge for the event, in consultation with

the advisor in charge of the event may elect to substitute components of the uniform as

detailed above. Shorts and T-Shirt must be plain navy-blue and suitable to represent the

professionalism of the group, and the Region of Waterloo Paramedic Service. Shorts and T Shirts must never be other colours, and may not contain other insignia or other logos. As with

all classes of uniform, if a decision is made to use this class of uniform for an event every effort

will be made to communicate the decision to all members equally
