The Boy Scout Handbook describes how the uniform is to be decorated and worn. Uniform inspection sheets are available here.

The Scout is required to wear a complete Boy Scout Uniform to all Troop meetings and campouts.

"Class A" uniform is the khaki Scout shirt, olive drab Scout shorts or pants, Scout socks, Scout belt, Scout neckerchief, and Scout hat (optional).
"Class B" uniform is a Scout T-shirt, olive drab Scout shorts or pants, Scout socks, Scout belt, and Scout hat (optional).
"Class C" uniform is not really a uniform. Scouts may wear appropriate "civilian" clothes.

Only a Boy Scouts of America authorized hat may be worn with the Scout uniform-no Astros/Texans/college or other team hats.

The class of uniform is announced by the Senior Patrol Leader prior to an event. When in doubt wear class "A". The Troop 80 neckerchief is required for all Troop and patrol functions but are usually not required to be worn at Troop weekend campouts ­ the Senior Patrol Leader decides.

Scouts holding Troop office will wear the patch denoting their office sown on their sleeve. After the term of office has been completed the patch must be removed.

For new uniform costs contact the Houston Scout Shop. Some used uniforms are available through the Troop. Please check with the Scoutmaster or one of his assistants to see what is available. We encourage you to donate uniforms as you or your son outgrow them.

Adults wear a uniform similar to the Scouts, but there are some differences.

Adults wear no badge of rank on the left pocket. If an adult earned Eagle Scout rank as a youth, the appropriate "knot" may be worn above the left pocket.

Adults do not wear the "Arrow of Light" emblem under the left pocket. This is substituted with the appropriate "knot" above the pocket.

Adults have the option of combining their youth and adult Service Stars into one Star (or pair of Stars, if needed) with blue backing.

Adults may wear a "Trained" strip under their Badge of Office (left sleeve) only if they have been trained for that specific office. For example, a Scouter trained solely as a Troop Committee member may not wear a "Trained" strip under an Assistant Scoutmaster badge. Youth "Trained" strips cover all youth offices, and may be worn under any Badge of Office.
