Overview • The School of Fashion Studies at George Brown College will collaborate with Scouts Canada in revamping the formal uniform. • Scouts Canada members will be surveyed on their perceptions of the current uniform in terms of appearance, fit, comfort, and other aspects. • Participants will provide feedback on changes that would make the uniform more acceptable, well-fitting, comfortable and exciting to wear.
Purpose • We will be revamping the current Scouts uniform and its related accessories to address various concerns, while maintaining the core values of Scouts Canada. • The project team will be comprised of experienced faculty and students from both the fashion management program and fashion techniques and design program.
Data Collection • Data will be collected using an online survey, in-person surveys, and focus group interviews. • Our sample will consist of the Scouts Canada members at various levels (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, etc) as well as parents and Scout Leaders. • Data collected will be analyzed and recommendations will be made to the design, who will explore the competitive design options compared to the current processes in place. • The recommendations will be applied through developing samples of new uniforms and a final report will be developed and submitted for implementation by Scouts Canada.
