The uniform is important to Scouting because it represents what we are.  Pride in the uniform promotes pride in Scouting and many a Scout (and adult) have worked hard to fill in a patch on the uniform.  This section is provided to acquaint new parents and Scouts with how the uniform is worn and what the various rank and Troop position patches look like.  A section showing what Patrol Emblems are available is provided to help patrols in choosing their name and patch.

* Field Uniform is to be worn for travel to and from all campouts

* Always refer to the campout checklist

Scouts and Scout Leaders should wear the Field Uniform for all ceremonial and indoor activities including troop meetings, Board of Review and Court of Honor.  The Field Uniform should also be worn during special outdoor occasions such as flag ceremonies, Scout shows, popcorn sales, travel to or from Scout activities and campouts, and special times during summer camp.

During physically active outdoor events and informal activities, Scouts should wear the Activity Uniform.  This is why a Troop 80 T-shirt is part of the Field Uniform - you never know when you may need to remove your Class A shirt for activities.

No alterations or additions to the official uniform may be made by any Scout, Scout leader, or Scouting official.  In accordance with the BSA Charter, any imitation of military uniforms is prohibited.  Camouflage pants, shorts, shirts and hats are prohibited!!
