Does the Troop have a "dress code"?

Yes we do. We observe two uniform dress codes. The Field uniform or what most Scout Troops refer to as a Class "A" Scout Uniform, which consists of an Official Beige/Tan Scout Shirt with all appropriate patches including current rank patch and shoulder loops, Black Neckerchief and Slide, Official Scout Pants or shorts (the troop permits black jeans or black jean shorts, if in good condition), Scout belt and socks and Scout Hat (Optional). We also consider the Scout Handbook part of the official uniform. This uniform is to be worn to all meetings from the 1st meeting after Labor Day to the last meeting before Memorial Day. It is also to be worn to all Courts of Honor, all Eagle Courts of Honor and in General to any occasion where the Scouts will be seen in Public Representing the Troop unless specified otherwise by the Scout Master or the Senior Patrol Leader. All travel is in Class "A" Scout Uniform, this means traveling to and from campouts or other outings and travel to and from Summer Camp. This is a Troop 98 rule.

Our other uniform dress code is the Activities uniform or what most Scout Troops refer to as a Class "B" Scout Uniform, which consists of a Scout appropriate Tee Shirt (Troop Tee-Shirt, or any other official Boy Scout shirt e.g., obtained from a Boy Scout camp or Scout Store or shirts from outings e.g., Air Force Museum, Air Zoo ,etc.), Official Scout Pants or shorts (the troop permits black jeans or black jean shorts, if in good condition), Scout belt and socks and Scout Hat (Optional). We also consider the Scout Handbook part of this uniform. This uniform can be worn to all meetings from the 1st meeting after Memorial Day to the last meeting before Labor Day, in other words over the Summer.
