We STRONGLY encourage you to wear the official dress
uniform to every meeting, especially if you are going for
a Scoutmaster Conference, Board of Review or if you are a
Troop Leader (SPL, ASPL, and preferably PL).
The official dress uniform is to be worn when traveling to
and from any scouting related activity. Occasionally, we
allow Class B for some trips - but you will be told of this
ahead of time. It is also be worn at EVERY ceremonial
function, for example, Courts of Honor. It is also to be
worn when attending an event as a representative of Troop 33
and/or BSA - for example, the Wreath Laying Ceremony. Please
note: The official dress uniform is commonly referred to as
the 'Class A' uniformand the activity
uniform as 'Class B'even though these are not
correct BSAterms.
For more on the BSA Standards and for photos of the patch
placement, see the Uniform Inspection Sheet. |
