| Q5: Do I need my uniform? | Top |
| Yes! Class “A” Scout Uniforms will be worn to opening and awards ceremonies, your shirt may be a little dirty or wrinkled, but it can still be tucked in and buttoned correctly, the hat, when put on correctly, with the bill to the front will help keep the sun off of your face. The uniform shouldn’t be worn sloppily. You are a Scout. Wear your uniform with pride. Saturday evening campfire attire may be the class “A” or class “B” uniform. During competition, the class “B” or appropriate casual clothing is in order. Dark pants/shorts is acceptable (NO open toed-shoes or flip-flops!). You won’t want to show up at the awards ceremony looking sloppy picking up your first place ribbon, so please dust off your Class A’s for the award ceremony on Sunday morning. |
