Wearing the Uniform

Like most troops, Troop 1 uses two uniforms.

Field or "Class A" and an Activity or "Class B"

Every Boy Scout should wear his uniform to all Scouting activities, including Troop meetings, outings, and any activities done with members of the Troop. Troop leaders will provide advance notice of which uniform boys should wear.

Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:

• DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.

• DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Boy Scout wearing a uniform with parts missing is not in uniform.

• DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Boy Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.

• DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing or wearing the uniform shirt with blue jeans. The uniform should be treated as a unit—worn in its entirety, or not at all.Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the Scoutmaster for guidance.

Field (Class A) Required:

• Troop 1 Hat

• Red t-shirt with Troop logo

The Uniform Code:

Your son should/will be encouraged to wear his uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. He should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform.
