Where to Find Uniforms
Uniforms are available through:
- Official Scout Shops (new patches/parts and full uniforms)
- Local thrift stores
- Council uniform exchange programs (used, gently worn items)
We recommend getting the spiral-bound one for durability and also the cloth cover to protect it. They will last a lot longer since they go on every camping trip. This is part of their uniform and should be brought to every meeting and camping trip.
