Uniforms

A Class A (full) uniform consists of an official BSA short-sleeved shirt and long pants. The shirt is worn with the Troop neckerchief and a slide of the Scout's choice. The slide can be either purchased or hand made.

Class B uniforms are worn in less formal situations, such as on campouts or in work situations for service projects. A Class B uniform consists of either a Troop t-shirt or a BSA short-sleeved shirt and Troop neckerchief. Any appropriate pants and footwear can be worn. Class B uniforms can be worn to all Scouting events except Troop meetings and specifically designated Class A events.

Most Scouts buy a Troop activity t-shirt from the Scout locker. Sizes from S to XL are available for $10 each. The t-shirts are a light blue and have the Troop logo on the back.
