TROOP 267
Uniforms, Patches, Books and Equipment
“. . . putting on the uniform does not make a fellow a Scout, but putting on the uniform is a sign to the world that one has taken the Scout obligations and folks expect Scout-like acts from one wearing it.” Handbook for Boys, 3rd Edition, 1927
Sports teams wear them, military and first responders wear them... a full uniform ensures we all look like we're on the same team. By dressing alike, Scouts show they are equals. And while the basic uniform is used to promote equality, the patches and insignia earned by each boy shows their individual achievement. Wearing Uniforms is part of Scouting and, like attendance, is not casual.
As shown here by these sharply dressed Troop 267 Eagle Scouts,
the "Class A" uniform consists of the official tan short-sleeve shirt and official green pants or shorts (with shirt tucked in) and a Scout belt (if pants have loops), along with the Troop neckerchief (worn over the shirt collar) and neckerchief slide. We also provide each scout with a length of rope which is worn on the belt to all meetings, but not to ceremonies or formal occasions. Merit Badge sashes may be worn once a Scout has earned 6 or more merit badges.
“Class B” uniforms are red Troop 267 tee shirts, and jeans or shorts (but never sweatpants) whichever are weather appropriate. The troop provides the red tee shirts at no extra cost. We also have red troop sweat shirts for cooler days. Each boy or adult pays for his own sweat shirt.
