Troop 403 encourages every scout and adult leader to wear their full uniform proudly. It is a symbol that marks him/her as belonging to a select group. The uniform and the person who wears it is respected in the community. Scouters should wear their uniforms to every troop activity unless otherwise instructed.
A proper Class A uniform consists of:
*Scout shirt with insignia properly placed
*Scout pants (long or short) or denim pants (long or short) in either blue or black
*Scout belt
*Troop neckerchief and slide
*Scout socks (if scout shorts are worn)
*Close toed shoes
*Scout hat or cap (optional)
Scouts and leaders are expected to wear the Class A uniform at all troop meetings, unless otherwise instructed, at all Scoutmaster Conferences, Boards of Review, Courts of Honor, and in transit to/from all campouts or any other troop/patrol functions. Uniform inspections will be conducted at various times throughout the year.
Scouts and leaders can wear the Class B uniform during troop campouts to help save wear and tear on the Class A shirt and at the same time, have a symbol of troop recognition.
A proper Class B uniform consists of:
*Troop 403 "T" shirt or other approved scout shirt (examples: Lost Pines "T" shirt or sweatshirt, OA "T" shirt or sweatshirt, or any staff scouting shirt)
*Scout pants (long or short) or denim pants (long or short) in either blue of black
*Scout belt
*Scout socks (if scout shorts are worn)
*Close toed shoes
*Scout hat or cap (optional)
