THE TROOP 50 UNIFORM
Scouts are expected to have, care for, and wear a uniform, assuming the Scout’s family has the means to get one. It isn’t necessary to have the latest “style;” all Scout uniforms, regardless of vintage, are officially accepted. No boy will ever be turned away from Scouting if his family can’t afford a uniform. In such a case, please speak with the Scoutmaster.

Class-B Uniform. The Class-B uniform is our troop t-shirt . This is our daytime summer camp uniform, and most Scouts choose to wear it at outdoor Troop activities when weather permits. This is encouraged.
Dinner at Scout summer camp requires a change into the Class-A uniform.
