"Field Uniform"
"Field Uniform"
For all Scout meetings, your scout will need a "Field Uniform", which is the khaki shirt, green pants, and socks. See info below. The troop will provide the troop numbers. The Field Uniform is the formal uniform. When you hear "Activity Uniform" it means that you will wear the Troop t-shirt and green pants.
You will need to buy a uniform for your scout at the "Scout Shop" and the scout shop staff can help you pick up all of the necessary parts in the right sizes and patches to make sure the uniform is complete.
(Here is a document that explains the uniform in a fun way - http://bsauniforms.org/boyscouts)
The Scout uniform has required parts that you will need to buy:
• Shirt. You will need to buy the official short (or long) sleeve tan button-up Scout BSA shirt
• Items for the shirt. You will need to buy two patches for the shirt & loops.
1) Circle 10 shoulder patch
2) World Crest patch
3) Green Scout BSA shoulder loops to put on shirt's shoulder epaulets. (Hint: don't buy the Venture green epaulets)
Troop will provide the number patches.
• Neckwear. You will need to buy the silver BSA slide to hold up the neckerchief.
• Belt. Olive web with BSA insignia on brass buckle.
• Pants, Shorts, or Roll-Up Pants (Olive only) - They do have pants that are convertible with zippers to shorts and I highly recommend these! You can find these at the Scout Shop, but may be cheaper at Academy or Cabellas. NO JEANS!
• Socks. Official olive-colored socks. (Scout shop, Academy, or Cabellas)
• Scout Handbook - We recommend getting the spiral bound one for durability and also the cloth cover to protect it. They will last a lot longer since they go on every camping trip. This is part of their uniform and should be brought to every meeting and camping trip.
• Merit Badge Sash & Sash Pin - there is a green merit badge sash that they will wear at Court of Honors and you put all of the merit badges on it. I also recommend the $3 sash pin to keep the sash from sliding off the shoulders all the time.
• Hat. Optional - there is no required hat for ScoutsBSA
"Activity Uniform"
"Activity Uniform"
Troop, Scout camp, or BSA t-shirts or sweatshirts.
Appropriate pants or shorts (olive green/khakis).
“Activity Uniform” is shorthand for a Scouting-related t-shirt or Scouting-related polo shirt. Summer camp t-shirts, Troop t-shirts, high-adventure t-shirts, BSA polo shirts, etc. are all acceptable. T-shirts from a rock concert, with political slogans, or anything inappropriate to Scouting goals and ideals are not acceptable. “Activity Uniform” while not an actual Scout uniform, can be worn at certain activities pre-approved by the troop.
Can I still wear previous-generation uniform pieces?
Yes. With BSA uniforms, the rule is: once official, always official.
Can I mix and match old and new uniform pieces?
Yes. For example, you could wear the new tan Scouts BSA uniform shirt with previous-generation green uniform pants.
