Placement of insignia on the uniform is important. The Uniform Inspection Sheet has insignia placement guides. Here are helpful layout images for Left Pocket and Right Pocket. There is also a Male & Female Leader Uniform Inspection Sheet.
See the BSA Insignia Guide for more info.
The Scouting program in America has always included uniforms for its
members and volunteers to identify members and show they are part of
the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts and leaders should wear their uniforms
to all patrol meetings, troop meetings, and scout outings.
The tan and green Boy Scout uniform is a well-known symbol of American
scouting. All scouts in the program wear the same uniform with the
major differences being the badges each scout has earned and the troop
specific neckerchief.
Activity uniforms are worn for work projects, sporting activities, and
other events in which the dress uniform might get damaged. The official
dress uniform is commonly referred to as the 'Class A' uniform and the
activity uniform as 'Class B' even though these are not correct BSA
terms.
Each scout belongs to a patrol within the troop. To foster patrol identity, each patrol chooses a Patrol Patch and creates a patrol flag, name, and yell.
