Our troop uses two different kinds of uniforms.  One is a Class 'A' uniform and one is Class 'B'. The Class 'A' uniform is the typical uniform you see Boy Scouts wearing. See the table below for all of the items you will need for this uniform. The Class 'B' uniform is a custom made T-shirt with the troop 222 logo on it. The Class 'B' shirt can be purchased at the troop meetings for

• What will I need for a Uniform?

  Scout shirt The Khaki Boy Scout shirt comes in long and short sleeve. I suggest getting the short sleeve shirt.
  Shoulder loops The loops come in different colors depending on your position in the scouting organization. Purchase the red Boy Scout Shoulder loops. The red loops signify a Boy Scout. These loops fit over the shoulder Epaulets.
  Shoulder patch The only place to purchase a Grand Canyon Council shoulder patch is at a local Scout shop. See the links at the bottom of this page for the locations of Arizona scout shops. This patch is place on the left arm just below the seam.
  Unit Number The unit number for our troop is 222. A single patch with the number 222 can be special ordered, or you can get three single Number 2 patches and sew them together. This patch is placed 1/4 inch below the Council shoulder patch.
  Scout belt This is the only belt that can be worn with the boy scout uniform. Be sure to get the tan colored belt. The blue one is for Cub Scouts.
  Scout Hat This is optional, but is handy on sunny days.
  Scout Socks The official BSA socks are a required item for the uniform. Especially if you will be wearing the scout shorts.
  Neckerchief slide The neckerchief slide keeps the neckerchief in place. You can purchase the official BSA slide or a troop 222 slide. The slides get lost easily, so a second slide is handy.
  Scout Pants The scout pants come in either long or shorts. Either are acceptable, but you may want both depending on the weather.
  Neckerchief - Provided by the Troop! The troop 222 neckerchief is one of a kind. This will be provided to each scout.
  World Scout Emblem This patch is required on all scout uniforms. This patch is placed on the front left hand side of the uniform halfway between the shoulder seam and the top of the pocket.
