Badges & Uniforms
You will often hear the term “Full Class A”, “Class A” and Class B” as it relates to uniforms. This speaks to the uniform requirement for a particular event. Below is some information to help you better understand what is needed and when.
Uniform Components: Uniforms consist of a Scout Shirt, olive green shorts or pants (we do not require BSA pants/shorts – anything olive green will do), a Scout belt, green socks, a neckerchief, slide and epaulettes. The neckerchief, slide and epaulettes are provided by the Troop when your Scout joins. You can order the shirt, belt and socks online or visit the local Scout shop.
Full Class A: This term refers to the full “dress” uniform. It includes the shirt, pants/shorts, belt, socks, neckerchief, slide and epaulettes. This is typically only required for Court of Honor, Eagle Scout ceremonies and when your Scout is participating in a Board of Review.
Class A: This is what your Scout will wear to most meetings and to camping trips. Once we arrive at the campsites, Scouts will typically change into something more comfortable for camping. This consists of the Full Class A uniform minus the neckerchief and slide.
Class B: These are more casual and consist of olive green shorts and any sort of Scouting shirt. It could be a summer camp or Troop t-shirt or maybe a dry fit shirt from a high adventure trip. This is what we typically wear during the summer months.
