Scouts and leaders should wear their uniforms to all patrol meetings, troop meetings, and scout outings. All scouts in the program wear the same uniform with the major differences being the badges each scout has earned and the troop specific neckerchief. Most scout troops also have an activity uniform which is often a t-shirt customized just for the troop. Activity uniforms are worn for work projects, sporting activities, and other events in which the dress uniform might get damaged.
The official dress uniform is commonly referred to as the 'Class A' uniform and the activity uniform as 'Class B' even though these are not correct BSA terms. The best place to buy customized scouting t-shirts is the ClassB. Each scout belongs to a patrol within the troop. To foster patrol identity, each patrol chooses a Patrol Patch and creates a patrol flag, name, and yell.
Merit badge placement on the sash is up to the scout. The badges can be displayed in rows of two or three, starting three inches down from the top of the sash. There is no required ordering of badges. The scout can put all silver-bordered Eagle-required badges first, followed by green-bordered elective badges.
Or, display them alphabetically, or by favorites, or by color, or in the order earned which is most common. When the front of the sash is full, additional merit badges can be displayed on the back or on a second or third sash. The merit badge sash is worn draped over the right shoulder and left hip. Only ONE sash is worn at a time. A second sash is NOT worn over the shoulder, nor tucked into the belt.
The same is true for Order of the Arrow sashes. The scout wears either a merit badge sash OR OA sash, but not more than one sash at a time. These two sashes show merit badges in rows of three. They belong to my two Eagle sons. One has all his Eagle-required badges on top, the other just has them as earned. Retrieve a list of Scout shops and distributors in your area at this Scout Store Locator. Scout Uniform Savings These uniforms are a significant cost for many scouting families.
Some possible ways to reduce costs are: Have your scout earn the uniform or part of it. Purchase only minimum expected items in your troop. Check with your troop or district about a Uniform Exchange where you can pick up or drop off uniforms. Buy used Scout items at local clothes store. We discovered too late that his tan class A is way too small. But he has his Venture shirt from working at summer camp at Spanish Peaks.
He is now over 18 and his COH was rushed and planned very quickly with no time to get a new tan class A. Is it appropriate for him to wear the green uniform shirt with his merit sash or OA sash for his Eagle ceremony? He can wear his Venture uniform, or borrow a better-fitting Boy Scout uniform from a friend. Mar 03, - Lynn When is the appropriate time and place to where the merit badge sash?
Where can I find the official policy regarding this? Mar 03, - Scouter Paul Lynn - The merit badge sash can be worn whenever the uniform is worn, but it is not practical to wear it most of the time because it gets in the way. Courts of honor, boards of review, and other more formal events are when scouts usually wear a sash.
If you follow the link to the BSA Insignia Guide in the page content above, you'll find the official BSA policy - which does not mention when to wear and when not to wear the sash. Many non-American scouts who are part of a local pack, troop, or crew here in Europe do render respect to the flag and national anthem by standing but do not salute though some do.
I checked and there is no specific mentioning of this in any of the BSA guidelines that I checked. Jun 19, - Fabel Konicke My son returned from Camp Geronimo with a whole bag of badges and rings I don't know what to do with them? Anyway - Any help is appreciated. Jun 20, - Scouted Paul Fabel - best thing to do in your case is have your scout ask his scoutmaster where the patches go. There is probably a patch scheme document from the camp that explains where they go and you might even find that on the camps website, of they have one.
Dec 21, - Eli Where do the fireman chit, totin chip, and cyber chip go on the uniform? Dec 21, - Scouter Paul Eli - They are all 'temporary' patches and one at a time can be displayed centered on the right pocket. Dec 26, - Lisa Would I wear a scout uniform to a boy scout camp interview? Dec 27, - Scouter Paul Lisa - If you're a registered BSA member, then it sounds like a good idea to wear your uniform for the interview.
Apr 11, - Larry Cox Hi! I'm 62, a Eagle, and returning to Scouting to assist my 2 older grandsons in their troop and 2 younger ones still in Cubs. Silly question, but I don't remember if we wore a colored tee under our uniform. I'm now nearly blind Is it any different for adults? And as a foot note And it's awesome!!
I was taught to lead by example. Apr 13, - Scouter Paul Larry - you can wear another layer under your uniform shirt if you want. It's not part of the uniform, but is useful when outdoors in cooler weather, or just for comfort. Our troop doesn't wear or require a neckerchief's with the uniform which makes certain tees, well With no guidance the boys tend to go for any tee, often their brightest neon colors from their dresser, which keeps them warmer and more comfortable wearing a tee, but looks yucky Of course easiest answer is to just wear neckerchiefs which hides the tees, so hopefully the troop will reconsider one day!
I currently have two brothers in my troop who in my opinion are lazy, they refuse to wear shoes to the troop meetings and wear white socks with flip flops and on uniform inspection night they wear black shocks and black Nike type shower slip on flip slops, whats more they cannot participate in troop games or activities when we climb a lashing tower. Thanks and look forward to your email -Scouty Ed- Troop But, there is no requirement that scouts wear uniforms in order to be BSA members. When adult volunteers start making up rules for scouts, it tends to not work out well.
If their lack of appropriate footwear causes their patrols to perform poorly in contests with other patrols, then maybe their patrolmates would encourage them to change. For example, some simple recognition for the patrol with the highest percentage of scouts climbing the tower or participating in the game - their patrol could never get it without them participating.
Or, maybe there is some other reason besides laziness why they wear what they wear. A caring adult volunteer might try to find out the reason. No other comment I ran across covered a subject like this and I'm wondering why admin left this on the thread. My point is, does this thread have an admin who removes posts that aren't relevant? If someone has a view or comment, and it is related to the page content and is not inflammatory, then it does no harm.
I try to weed out off-topic, meaningless, or inappropriate comments. I'm getting ready to finish up her uniform and want to make sure I'm putting the items on the left sleeve correctly. I can't find anywhere that shows the red Founder bar. Is it supposed to be touching the troop numerals? Also, her shirt is one of the microfiber ones with a "cuff" of sorts around the bottom of the sleeve. There doesn't really appear to be room for her council patch, the troop numbers, the Founder bar, her position patch, and her Trained patch.
Can the Trained patch go on top of the "cuff" part? Mar 02, - Wife My husband wants me to sew his Eagle Scout patch onto his jean jacket.
