Class A Uniform
The Scouts BSA uniform shirt is an important part of the Scout method and a great way for the Scouts to show off their achievements and awards.
Class B Uniform
Our Troop has T-shirts available for both kids and adults with our logo, any Scouting T-shirt, in good condition, is acceptable.
A limited number of gently worn uniform shirts may be available from the Troop, Scouts are asked to donate their outgrown shirts to the Troop when possible.
Handbooks
The purchase of a Scouts BSA handbook is recommended. Troop 4480 uses scoutbook.org to track each Scout’s advancements and progress. Parents can download the Scouting app to track their Scout’s progress. Before purchasing a handbook, make sure it is the most current edition.
Awards
Scouts are awarded patches, pins, and medals for various activities. Troop 4480 will cover the costs of these awards. Most awards are wearable on the Class A uniform but some are not, see the Uniform Insignia Guide for more information. A Scout can choose to put their additional insignia on a red felt vest, either store bought or homemade, and wear that vest over the Class A uniform.
