Massawepie Tip of the Day #9 - Uniforms

A uniform sets a standard to be met, promotes group spirit and a sense of identity. It also designates equality among members of the group.

The Scout uniform (aka "Class A") is appropriate dress any time during the week, and is especially encouraged for evening meals and required at the camp evening flag ceremony and Troop group photo.

The "Class A" uniform consists of:
Scout shirt (short sleeve)
Neckerchief and slide
Scout shorts/pants w/Scout belt
Scout socks

The "Class B" uniform, or activity uniform for the Troop is a black t-shirt(Scouts) and the black collared shirt(leaders) with the Troop 140 BSA insignia imprinted in gold.
If you ordered a new "Class B" shirt and would like to pick it up before Saturday, please call me to make arrangements.

For insurance purposes, the Scout Class A uniform should be worn when traveling by vehicle to and from a Scouting event such as summer camp.

For this reason, please arrive at the Legion on Saturday, July 19th by 7:30am wearing your Class A uniform.
