Uniform Incentive
The Troop wants to encourage all Scouts to wear the official BSA uniform during meetings and events. In the past, we have determined that the first meeting of any month, Courts of Honor and non-athletic day trips or events requires a Class A Uniform. Any scout who wears the full official BSA Class A Uniform as stated below receives a fleur-de-lis pin to put on the collar of his shirt. Other treats and/or incentives may also be given from time to time.

Hats
All scout below the rank of Star wear the Boy Scout of America baseball cap. From Star to Eagle Scouts, wear a red beret. Once the Scout achieves the rank of Eagle, he wears the campaign hat.
Neckerchief

Neckerchief Folding
Place the neckerchief face down with the longest side of the triangle facing you. Take each end and fold it a third of the way up the leg of the original triangle. Roll the neckerchief up until the other fold is met (see pictures below).
Class B Uniform
A Class B Uniform is the red polo shirt with the Boy Scout of America logo on the chest. Any kind of pants may be worn, but a belt must be worn if the pants have belt loops. Any kind of shoes is acceptable, including sandals, unless otherwise indicated. Any time a Class B Uniform is required a Class A Uniform may be worn.
