Boy Scout Uniform Information

In order for your son to be in a full uniform, he needs to wear:
a Boy Scout shirt with all of the proper patches in the correct places,
Boy Scout pants or shorts,
and a Boy Scout belt.
Unless the boys choose otherwise, our Patrol is not going to wear neckerchiefs as part of the uniform. Boy Scouts socks are only required when the boys wear shorts. The boys have not chosen a hat yet, but we will let you know what they decide when they talk about it. We have a Boy Scout Uniform Bank at our house with a selection of Boy Scout shirts, pants, shorts, and belts if any of you would like to "borrow" from the bank. We only ask that when your son outgrows the uniform part(s) you borrowed, you return it to us so another boy can use it (then you can borrow a larger size for your son!). I have included a picture of the correct placement of the patches.
Your son should have the:
council shoulder emblem (they cost $5-6 if you'd like, we have an official, really cool one for the $5),
badge of leadership (his leadership position in the patrol),
green shoulder loops,
patrol patch (we're going to get some made),
world crest emblem,
and his badge of rank (the most recent one he has earned).
At Courts of Honor and special occasions, he can wear a merit badge sash over his uniform with any merit badges and patches he has earned. These can all be bought at the Mesa Scout Shop in Mesa Riverview Shopping Center, by the Cinemark Theatres (except the rank patch which he will get at the Court of Honor.
If you have any questions, call us!
