The
Boy Scouts of America is a uniformed organization. This means that the members are expected to wear proper uniforms
at all Scouting activities unless specified otherwise. There are two types of uniforms: Class A and Class B.
The
Class A Uniform will consist of the
Boy Scout Shirt (with appropriate patches and insignia), official Scout pants
or shorts. Scouts who do not wear the
official Scout pants will be expected to wear dark colored jeans (long or short
legs) or khaki pants (long or short legs).
Sweat pants of any color, brightly colored pants or shorts are not
acceptable Scout wear. The Class A
uniform should be worn to all Scout functions unless otherwise directed.
Optional
parts of the Class A Uniform include an olive colored merit badge sash and
various BSA jackets and coats. The
merit badge sash is to be worn only with the Class A Uniform and is considered
as "dress attire." The dress
attire should only be worn at special events such as Courts of Honor, banquets,
or as otherwise instructed. A BSA
uniform ball cap or official hat is optional as well.
The
Class B Uniform, which is to be worn when directed, and
while camping, consists of any BSA casual shirt with the same pants wear policy
as the Class A Uniform. Troop 52 has an
official Class B T-shirt for summer and a sweatshirt for winter that is
available for purchase.
Shoes are to be worn at all times.
No open toed shoes, i.e., sandals, flip-flops, etc., are allowed to be worn
accept during water activities. Tennis
shoes are acceptable, however, take into consideration the type of activity,
i.e., hiking and winter camping, when
making your decision and wear the appropriate shoes or boots.
