Uniform Rules and Regulations

The official uniforms are intended primarily for use in connection with

Scouting activities. They should be worn to all den and pack events, and

may be worn to school, church, or any family function. The uniform

may also be worn while participating in a pack money-earning project if

approved by the local council. It may be worn when selling tickets to

such events as Scouting shows that are approved by the council.

The uniform may not be worn by either Cub Scouts or adult leaders

when:

Involved in any distinctly political endeavor

Appearing on the stage professionally without special approval

from the National Executive Board

Taking part in parades, except when rendering service as a Cub

Scout or leader or when officially representing the Boy Scouts of

America

Participating in demonstrations not authorized by the Boy Scouts

of America

All uniforms, badges, and insignia of the Boy Scouts of America may be

used only by members of the Boy Scouts of America who are registered

and in good standing. No alteration of or addition to the official uniform,

badges, or insignia, or the rules and regulations covering the wearing of

the uniform, may be authorized by anyone except the National

Executive Board. Badges awarded by organizations other than the Boy

Scouts of America may not be worn on the official uniform.
