Troop 635 Uniform Info

• The Baltimore City Scout Shop (701 Wyman Park Drive, Baltimore) is the place to buy a uniform, uniform patches, a Scout book, and much more.  The staff are very knowledgeable and will help you get all the patches you need for the uniform - just tell them your scout is a new member of Troop 635, and they will do the rest. 
• There is (or was) a "Scouts BSA Handbook for Girls".  It's the same as the boys book, but with different photos.
• Class A Uniform
  •  The full Scout uniform is worn at more formal troop gatherings or occasions like a Court of Honor awards ceremony or a Scoutmaster rank review.  
  • The required elements are:
    • Scout Shirt (we recommend the short sleeve / quick dry shirt)
    • Olive green pants/shorts/skort (quick dry is helpful).  The Scout shop offers all three types, but official items are not required.  REI sells a nice convertible pair of olive pants, with zip-off legs to make shorts).
    • Merit badge sash
    • Neckerchief (Troop 635 uses a black neckerchief with white edges) and slide.
    • Olive socks
    • Belt (Scout, high adventure, outdoor sporty, or leather belt).
    • See: Scouts BSA Uniform Inspection Sheet.
      
      
      
  • Badge Placement:
    • See page 22 of the Scout book.
    • Refer to this web site: Scout Patch Placement Guide.
    • Badge Magic is an adhesive recommended for affixing more permanent patches - as opposed to sewing.  These include the American flag and the Troop number.  Patches are difficult to remove and adhesive remains.  It is available at the Scout Shop.  See: Badge Magic Uniform Kit.
    • For more temporary patches, loosely sew in place instead of Badge Magic.  These include rank, patrol patch, and badge of office.
• Class B Uniform
  • The Class B uniform is more relaxed, employing a common Troop 635 shirt or hoodie paired with practical shorts or pants.  It is used for activities where the Scout might get dirty such as camping, hiking, or community service - but we still want to identify as a unit.  
  • Scouts, parents and leaders can show their Scout pride during casual events.
