I don't know for sure what you are searching for in the way of an answer but here is some information.

 

A Scout should wear his full Scout "Class A" uniform for all Troop meetings. Our Troop also wears Class A uniforms when going to and returning from Campouts. Also, Boards of Review, Courts of Honor, Church, and other "Formal" settings and occasions.

 

(Class A - means Shirt, Belt, pants/shorts, socks, dark shoes/boots. Scarves and hats(out side) are optional.)

I'm sorry... if this is a Cub Scout question, the following might be helpful:

 

Cub Scouts love to wear their uniform, even if it is a shirt. At the lower levels - Tiger, Wolf and sometimes Bear, they love to wear them to school on the day of their Den meeting. They also like to be recognized as a Scout when teachers are looking for someone to lead the Pledge of Allegience or do a flag ceremony.

 

So, in addition to school, the Den Meeting, the Pack Meeting, and any Scouting event such as - Christmas Parade, 4th of July Parade, Cub Scout and Tiger "go and See" trips/tours, and any event or activity that could be considered "Scouting" when out with a parent or the whole family.

 

Have fun.

Some troops have a policy of allowing class A shirts only at ordinary troop meetings. Uniforms are expensive and are usuually outgrown before they are worn out. If money is no great object for the families in your unit, full uniform should be worn to all events except field events. For some mysterious reason, you will have better behavior out of your boys if they are in full uniform.

We require the Class A (Shirt,& Neckerchief) for all Board of Review and Courts of Honor. We also recommend adding the official pants for even more formal events ie. Eagle Courts and Religious functions. However we also have a "Class B" Troop Tee Shirt that we use at Summer Camps and summer meetings. Cost is probably the bigest reason parents have chosen this route. When we have done a Philmont Trip, we have required: Hat, Neckerchief, Shirt, Shorts and Knee Socks to be worn in public as well as a Red Nylon Windbreaker. (They realy stand out in an Airport and draw many comments form other travelers and air crews.)
