Uniform
Scouts wear a full Class A uniform at Troop meetings, courts of honor, and when traveling to and from activities. Please label every item with your Scout's name and "T33".
What to buy
- Shirt. The Scouts BSA uniform shirt, in khaki, with the dark green shoulder loops.
- Pants or shorts. Olive green. Official hiking-style uniform pants work well, and any olive green hiking pant is fine.
- Socks. Olive green. Official uniform socks in any style (low-cut, knee-high, or others) are fine, and so are non-official olive green socks.
- Belt. A standard web belt.
- Neckerchief slide. The most commonly lost item. Almost anything can be a slide, so your Scout can use their imagination.
- Cap (optional). We prefer first-year Scouts wear the uniform cap. It tends to get lost, so it is optional.
What the Troop provides
The Troop gives each Scout a Troop 33 neckerchief, a Troop 33 Class B T-shirt and the Troop 33 number patch at their first meeting. Extra neckerchiefs are available from the Troop.
Patches
- the World Crest emblem
- the Pacific Skyline Council shoulder patch
- the shoulder loops (dark green)
- the Troop 33 number, provided by the Troop
See patch placement for where each one goes.
