Scout Uniform
The official Boy Scout uniform is the first item that needs to be purchased and needs to be done as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there is not much choice, since it is BSA regulated. You can talk to the Scoutmaster about previously owned uniforms in the Troop closet. The total uniform (excluding shoes) runs about $55. Please discuss uniforms with us before you go out and buy. Purchase uniforms at the Scout Shop off of Windy Hill Road.

Class-B Uniform: In the warm summer months, while school is out of session, the uniform policy is relaxed. During this time it is acceptable to wear the Troop T-shirt, Scout belt, pants, and socks to troop meetings. Some outings will also be designated as Class-B Uniform outings. We still wear Class-A Uniform to and from Summer Camp and other outings.
