Uniform
Troop 445 encourages a complete uniform. The Scout will recieve a neckerchief and patrol emblem from the Troop. The BSA khaki shirt is a must and is to be worn to all meetings and activities unless otherwise instructed. Official BSA shorts should be purchased new or used as soon as possible. We often times come across uniform parts and will make them available to the Scouts at no charge. We ask that all Scouts and parents consider turning in uniforms that no longer fit for use by the Scouts. Please refer to your son's Boy Scout Handbook for more information on items and placement of insignia.
Uniforms and other Scouting items can be purchased at various locations. Current information is available from the Unit when needed. Contact one of the unit leaders or committe members for more information. Uniform inspections will be conducted on a routine basis.

Troop 445 has a strong commitment to the Boy Scout uniform; it is an equalizer and constant reminder of the fine organization it represents. Essentially, every Troop Scouting evnt will require that a Class A or B uniform be worn.

Each member of Troop 445, youth or adult, must have a Class A Scout Uniform within 45 days of joining the Troop (certain exceptions will be granted).

Each member of Troop 445, youth and adult should have a class B uniform as soon as possible.

In particular, Scout leaders (youth and adults) shall take extra efforts to ensure that they are exemplary in wearing their uniforms (so as to set a good example). This pertains to uniform appearance, cleanliness-completeness and insignias.

The Class A uniform consists of the following:

BSA cap*
BSA shirt (short or long sleeve) with proper insignia
BSA belt with BSA belt buckle
BSA shorts or pants
BSA socks (BSA knee socks for shorts, or ordinary height socks for pants).
Tennis shoes or hiking boots. (open toed shoes or flip flops will not be allowed)
