Troop 642

• Short Sleeved Scout Shirt with Patches sewn on Properly (See Diagram)
  • Current Patrol Patch (Right Sleeve)
  • Current Year’s Quality Unit Patch (Right Sleeve)
  • Musician Patch (if applicable, Right Sleeve)
  • Current Officer Patch (if applicable, Left Sleeve)

  • Current Rank Patch (Left Pocket)

    • This is different than BSA guidelines on the above diagram.  The name tag interferes with the merit badge sash so we wear it over the Left pocket.

  • World Brotherhood of Scouting Emblem (Above Year Pen)
  • Arrow of Light Patch (below Left Pocket)
  • Red Shoulder Epaulets
• Scout Long Pants (October – March) or Scout Shorts (April – September)
  • Proper Length, Hemmed, & Proper Fit

• Scout Socks (Either Knee Length or Crew Length – Not Ankle or Short).
• Leather Dress Shoes – Polished (Not Boat Shoes, Tennis Shoes, Moccasins or Hiking Boots).
• Merit Badge Sash (If You Have Six Merit Badges or More).

If You Wear an Undershirt it must be A White V-Neck (Not Colored and Not Crew Neck).
You Should Check Your Uniform Each Week before You Leave Home for the Meeting.

Make Sure Your Uniform Properly Fits and Is Clean!
