   Like the Scout badge, the uniform is an emblem of scouting.  It might be brand new, or it might be an experienced uniform already worn by another Scout to many meetings and campouts.  Old or new, wear your uniform proudly when ever you are taking part in Scout activities.  By dressing alike, Scouts show they are equals.  Your uniform is also a sign to yourself and to others that you are a person who can be trusted.  You can be counted on to lend a hand when help is needed.  Dressed as a Scout, you will want to act as a Scout.
    
The complete official uniform includes the Scout long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirt, Scout pants or shorts, Scout belt and buckle, Scout socks or knee socks.  A neckerchief and cap or campaign hat are optional.  Wear full uniform for all ceremonial and indoor activities, such as troop meetings, courts of honor, and most other indoor functions.  Camp Tri-Mount Flag Lowering
The uniform should also be worn during special outdoor occasions, such as Scout shows, flag ceremonies and special times at summer camp.   For outdoor activities, Scouts may wear troop or camp T-shirts with the Scout pants or shorts.
