Scouts BSA Uniform

The Uniform is an important part of delivering the complete Scouting experience to your child.

Not sure if a complete uniform is a necessary for your Scout's success in Scouting?

Here are some thoughts from the Boy Scouts of America on the benefits of a complete uniform:

Wearing uniforms has been a method of the Scouting movement from the beginning. Decades of experience show uniforms have many benefits, including these:

• Equality – The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Scouts from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.
• Identification – the uniform identifies a Scout as a member of the Scouts BSA program. Badges on the uniform tell other members that they belong to their troop, patrol and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.
• Achievement – The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Scout can be ímmediately recognized.
• Commitment – Wearing a uniform is a constant reminder to each Scout of their commitment to the ideals and purposes of Scouting: duty to God, loyalty to country, and helpfulness to others.

For these reasons, among others, all parents and Leaders should emphasize to their Scouts the importance of wearing the correct and complete uniform on all suitable occasions.
