When I was a leader, I did not require a uniform. I did require sashes. That is why when I handed out patches to 1st timers they came already sewn on a sash. If the girls stayed in scouting I would get them a shirt with cookie money sales. I also started a can recycling program. every few months I would take the cans and sell them at the recycling place.
the district never had a problem with our girls not in full uniform. They knew these girls were from poor rural areas.
