Class “A” Uniform Details
Class ‘A’ Uniforms are worn by scouts at Boards of Review, PLC meetings, and a Court of Honor.
Scout Shirt – Class A
Official long- or short-sleeve tan shirt with green shoulder loops on epaulets.
The troop may vote to wear a neckerchief, bolo tie, or no neckwear. In any
case, the collar should be unbuttoned. The troop/team has the choice of
wearing the neckerchief over the turned-under collar or under the open
collar.
Scout Shirt – Class B
The Class B uniform for the troop is one of three Troop t-shirts. The scout
may choose which color (Gray, Green, Red) to wear unless otherwise
specified for an event.
Shoulder Epaulets
Green shoulder loops identify Boy Scouts.
Scout Pants or Shorts
Official, olive, pressed, no cuffs.
Belt
Olive web with BSA insignia on brass buckle; or official leather with
international-style buckle or buckle of your choice, worn only if voted by the
troop. Members wear one of the belts chosen by vote of the troop.
Neckerchief & Slide
Insignia at back should be right side up and centered. Fold long edge over
several flat folds to about 6 inches from tip of neckerchief. A tight fold prevents gathering around the
neck and is more efficient than rolling or twirling. Draw neckerchief slide over ends and adjust to fit
snugly. By vote of troop, ends may be left hanging loose or tied in a slipknot. The neckerchief is optional
to the troop.
Socks
Official olive-colored mid-calf-length socks with red tops worn with official shorts or trousers. (Long
socks are optional with shorts.)
Shoes
Leather or canvas, neat and clean.
Merit Badge Sash
If worn, the merit badges are attached to front (and back if needed) of sash.
Order of the Arrow Sash
The sash is worn at Order of the Arrow functions and special activities, including courts of honor and on
occasions when members need to be identified as Arrowmen rendering special services.
