Troop 31 Uniform Requirements

All scouts should strive to be in full Class A uniform at every meeting, unless noted on the calendar.

A points contest is held yearly in which points are awarded for complete uniforms.

Full Class A Uniform Includes:

  • BSA Shirt with appropriate badges and insignia (see the Handbook)
  • BSA Shorts or Pants
  • BSA Belt
  • Troop 31 Neckerchief
  • Neckerchief Slide
  • BSA Socks
  • Shoes (hiking boots or athletic shoes)

Class B Uniform

We will supply each scout with a Troop tee shirt, which replaces the scout shirt and neckerchief in the Class B uniform.

Equipment for Camping

Your son will need some equipment for hiking and camping, particularly:

  • A good, rugged pair of hiking boots
  • Rain gear
  • Sleeping bag

We will discuss what equipment is necessary during meetings prior to each outing. You need not purchase official Boy Scout equipment.

Scout supplies can be purchased at the Scout Store. The most convenient location for most families is:
