Hat/Headwear

If a Scout chooses to wear a hat, the Troop highly recommends it be the official Scouting hat

Non-Scouting hats are O.K. at troop meetings and campouts, but must be age-appropriate and removed during the Pledge of Allegance, National Anthem, and recital of the Scout Oath, Law, and Outdoor Code

Uniform (Class A/B)

Scouting America’s official uniform (known as a Class A) is worn for all ceremonies, formal events, and troop meetings

includes a tan shirt with appropriate patches
Scouts should wear their neckerchief and slide and keep the uniform neat and properly fitted

The Class B uniform is a more casual version of the Scout uniform, typically consisting of a troop or Scouting-related T-shirt, worn with the appropriate shorts or pants

Scouts often wear the Class B during informal events, service projects, campouts, and activities where comfort and durability are important
A Class B uniform still represents the troop, promoting unity and Scout spirit while allowing flexibility for active participation

Badges/Patches

Scouting America provides an official Badge Placement Guide to help the Scout know/understand what patches are required and where they go, with a few examples:
