The best Air Scout Group in Gosport
6th Gosport are committed to educate and develop the young people of Gosport, building a better community with a brighter future. Where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role within society. We hope to achieve this through fun, challenge, and adventure.
We are excited to be part of developing options for wearable technology being incorporated into uniform.
What’s in it for us? Each young person will be provided with a full set of trial uniform across the next 12 months and play a key role in supporting the development of our next generation uniform. Where smart technology is required to support the trials, this will also be provided for the trial duration.
Option 1 – Digital Necker/Scarf/Neckerchief Many members both young and old like to collect all the different styles of Necker/Scarf/Neckerchief and we want to bring this in-line with the latest technology trend and are looking to launch a digital version. This will feature an advanced material and LED technology allowing the wearer to collect a style via the ‘MyNecker’ app and upload to their Necker/Scarf/Neckerchief.
Option 2 – Built-in Smart Device Charging With a greater reliance on smart devices we want to ensure they are available to use 24/7. Charge will be generated by solar panels on garments and movement via an in-shoe generator. We successfully trialled a prototype during the recent Cub Camp by one of the Adult team. This allowed their smart phone to stay charged all day.
Option 3 – Waterproof Coating As we know, sections are not allowed outside when it rains. To overcome this barrier to Scouting we are looking at a special coating for all uniform items to repel water, meaning we can once again put the out into Scout!
Option 4 – Colour Changing Shirts Technology allows materials to change colours based on temperature. Something that is easy to overlook on Scouting activities are the effects of heat (both hot and cold). Currently being developed are shirts that turn red when the body temperature is too high and dark blue when too cold to aid early identification of heat related issues. There are currently a few teething problems with an advance feature. It is hoped that the shirts will also change to vibrant pink indicating ‘needs feeding’. The teething problems have resulted in Scouts shirts constantly becoming vibrant pink!
Option 5 – Self Cleaning and Ironing This is one for the parents and carers (volunteers may also benefit). Through our programme we are looking to develop #SkillsForLife so it will become compulsory for all members (in all sections) to learn to wash and iron before becoming a full member (don’t worry, full support using an iron and washing machine will be given and there will be no maximum timescale on completing this!). It is hoped that this option will be adopted to make the entire Scout Uniform self-cleaning and ironing for parents/carers).
We’re delighted once again to be pioneers in the progress of the movement. ... See MoreSee Less
Well Done to all the Cubs and Leaders who tried Petanque, you all did really well 👏.
Thanks. Tahlia really enjoyed it and found just enough energy to tell us all about it!

Lucas had an amazing time thank you! Although he did say there were scary scouts and beavers trying to bite there ankles.... haha!
Thank you so much! Jack had the best time, he loved it!! xxxxxxx
Following inspiration from Haywood ESU, the Scouts were paid a visit from potato fiend and chief development officer, Lord Smith, of Crisps.
Lord Crisp assembled two panels of judges to test the Scouts in their very own version of The Apprentice, Crisp edition!
Testing their skills of marketing, design, teamwork, flavour tasting, product design and presentation, the Scouts presented their cases to compete for the title of ‘Crisp Innovation Flavour 2025’ or CIFT.
In teams they presented their cases, wowing the judges with their distinct lack of ability to control the amount of flavour used! It’s safe to say Gary Lineaker’s job is safe!!
There was a lot of ‘interesting' flavours tried by the judges and lots of water drunk. ... See MoreSee Less
