The uniform makes the Boy Scout Troop visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community. Boy Scouting is an action program. Wearing the uniform is an action that shows each Boy Scout’s commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting. The uniform gives the Boy Scout identity in a world Brotherhood of youth who believe in the same ideals. The uniform is practical attire for Boy Scout activities and provides a way for Boy Scouts to wear the badges that show that they have accomplished.

Both Scouts and adult leaders are required to have a full BSA Scout uniform. In addition, Scouts and adults are required to have a minimum of one Troop 443 shirt. Please contact Merchandise Chair to order Class B shirts, hats, and hoodies.

For Scouting activities, we have two levels of uniform: Class A and Class B:

Class A Uniform

• Boy Scout Uniform Shirt with patches sewn on correctly
• Troop 443 Class B T-shirt (under Class A)
• Troop 443 neckerchief and slide
• Boy Scout shorts or long pants
• Boy Scout socks
• Boy Scout belt
• Merit Badge Sash (for Courts of Honor only)

Class B Uniform

• Troop 443 T-shirt

As a rule, the Class A uniform is to be worn to Troop meetings, all Courts of Honor, ceremonies, and other special occasions. During the Summer months, The Troop will moved to their Summer uniform which is essentially the Class A uniform without the neckerchief and slide. The Class B uniform is to be worn at all outside events as deemed appropriate by the Golden Eagles. Please mark the Scout’s name should be placed on all parts of the uniform.
