Scout Uniform


The Scouting program in America has always included uniforms for its members and volunteers to identify members and show they are part of the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts and leaders should wear their uniforms to all patrol meetings, troop meetings, and scout outings.

The tan and green Boy Scout uniform is a well-known symbol of American scouting.  All scouts in the program wear the same uniform with the major differences being the badges each scout has earned and the troop specific neckerchief.

The official dress uniform is commonly referred to as the 'Class A' uniform. Most scout troops also have an activity uniform, referred to as 'Class B' which is often a t-shirt customized just for the troop. Activity uniforms are worn for work projects, sporting activities, and other events in which the dress uniform might get damaged.

Uniform Checklist


 

Troop 21 requires a Boy Scout "Class A" shirt for all meetings and while traveling as a troop.  A Troop 21 embroidered neckerchief is provided by the troop. The official Boy Scout hat is optional.

Boy Scout Uniform Savings


These uniforms are a significant cost for many scouting families. Some possible ways to reduce costs are:
          • Have your scout earn his uniform or part of it.
          • Buy used Boy Scout items on eBay.com or local Goodwill stores.
          • Troop 21 has a reserve of previously used uniforms for your scout to use, even if just needed temporarily.
