Uniforms

All scout members should wear the proper uniform for troop meetings and events.  

 

Why do our members wear uniforms?  

The uniforms symbolize character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Wearing a uniform gives youth members a sense of identification and commitment.

​

• Personal equality - The uniform represents a democratic idea of equality, bringing people of different backgrounds together in the Scouting tradition.

• Identification - The uniform identifies youth and adult members of the Boy Scouts of America, visible as a force for good in the community. When properly and smartly worn, the uniform can build good unit spirit.

• Achievement - The uniform shows the wearer's activity, responsibility, and achievement. The accomplishments of every youth and adult member can be recognized by the insignia worn on the uniform.

• Personal commitment - The uniform is a constant reminder to all members of their commitment to the ideals and purpose of the Scouting movement. It is a way of making visible members' commitment to a belief in God, loyalty to country, and helping others at all times.
