The official BSA Uniform Site-info: |
The Scouting Uniform is a quintessential part of the Scouting experience.
Here in troop 166 we take pride in holding to a high standard for our uniforms.
At Scout gatherings, Camporee and Camp Parsons especially, we are known for our attention to uniforms.
We do keep a resource of 'outgrown' uniforms as well as other equipment - limited finances should never limit a scouts participation!

"Class-A's" - the full formal uniform:
We wear full uniforms to Monday-night meetings, and especially to Courts of Honor
Our distinctive kerchief has a red half and a light green half, the green is always worn on the right.
- for new members who have not achieved the rank of "Scout" they wear an all red kerchief with black detailing.
The ceremony elevating to Scout is a very somber and important event for each Scout in the troop.
Note: by Troop 166 tradition, the collar for us is turned under so you only see the neckerchief.
(A few of us have removed the fold-over part of the collar, leaving a tape-collar.)
Official Scout policy is that, any piece of uniform which has been regulation, remains regulation.
Scoutmaster Bill has made it an important thing to wear the full knee-high socks when wearing shorts, and many of the boys try hard to find the now out-of-production red-topped knee socks.
Likewise any non-Scouting hat should not be worn when wearing "Class-A's"
True Class-A would also include all medals, badges and insignia - but we tend to use our terms shifted up one so we call the less decorated full-uniform our "Class-A's."
Courts of Honor (three times a year) and any more formal occasions would be the time to wear the 'full-regalia'
-- Protocol notes:
"Class-B's" - the casual uniform:
Scouting events and venues often issue special t-shirts or other items that are considered scout-wear but are not "uniform" items.
