A Junior Scout's uniform consists of a short-sleeve (girls wear long sleeves) grey shirt, with two

pockets with buttons on the left and right breast, the official neckerchief, the forage cap, navy-
blue pants, the official bronze belt, navy-blue socks and black canvas shoes with laces. A
miniature Malaysian flag is stitched on the right breast pocket and the Tenderfoot badge
(analogous to the same-named first rank in U.S. scouting) stitched on the left one. The
neckerchief, with red, white and blue stripes, is worn about the collar, fastened with the
official woggle. The forage cap has a badge with the Malaysian Scout emblem on one side.
On the left sleeve are one's patrol's name and merit badges. On the right sleeve is one's state,
district, and troop number. The advancement badge is sewn below the troop number when a
Junior Scout earns it. Depending on a Junior Scout's rank and/or badges, he/she may be allowed
to wear a lanyard.
A Senior Scout's uniform is the same as the Junior Scout's except for the position of badges.
The King's Scout badge is worn on the left sleeve, five centimetres below the patrol badge. On
the left sleeve is one's patrol's name, and one's advancement badges. The Senior Scout's have
up to five advancement badges. Once taken, the Senior Scout will go on to become a King's
Scout. The King's Scout badge is worn five centimeters below the patrol badge in place of all five
Senior Badges.
A Leader's (Rovers/Scoutmasters) uniform is the same as the Junior Scouts with the exception
of the badges sewn and the epaulets worn. Rovers wear red epaulets while Assistant
Scoutmasters through the Chief Scout wear blue epaulets bearing different symbols. A Rover
Crew may make its own Crew emblem and the one can sew it on the right sleeve below the Crew
Letter. The advancement badges for Rovers are worn on the left breast, below the Rover badge,
while the miniature King's Scout Badge is worn on the left sleeve.
The Scout emblem incorporates elements of the coat of arms of Malaysia.
Regardless of which unit one is a member of, one must pass the Keahlian (Tenderfoot) test
before being eligible for any other badges. This test examines one on one's qualifications to
become a Scout, testing one on the Scout uniform, Scout emblems, Scout oath, Scout laws,
Scout salute and sign, the history of Scouting, and basic knot-tying, such as tying a reef knot.
