For a new Boy Scout, there are a few essential items they will need to purchase from the official Boy Scout Store (or an authorized retailer). Here's a list of typical items:

1. Scout Handbook (BSA Handbook):

• The Scout Handbook is one of the most important items a new Scout needs. It contains all the information they need to advance in ranks, earn merit badges, and understand the Scouting program.

2. Class A Uniform (Field Uniform):

• • Scout Shirt: The Class A uniform shirt is a button-down khaki shirt with proper patches and insignias.

  • Scout Pants/Shorts: Official BSA green pants or shorts.

  • Scout Belt: A belt that goes with the official uniform.

  • Scout Socks: Socks that complement the official uniform.

  • Neckerchief & Slide: Troop 799 provides the ICBC Neckerchief. Slider needs to be bought from the store

  • Shoulder Loops: These small colored loops are worn on the shoulder epaulets and designate the Scout’s level. Boy Scouts typically wear forest green loops.

3. Class B Uniform (Activity Uniform):

• Scout T-shirt: Class B is a more casual uniform, that can be purchased from Troop 799.

4. Merit Badge Sash:

• As the Scout earns merit badges, they will need a merit badge sash to display their achievements.

5. Patches and Insignia:

• Council Shoulder Patch: Displays the local council name and is worn on the left shoulder.

• Troop Numbers Patch: ICBC Troop Provides the Troop Number Patch.

6. Scout Hat (Optional):

• Some troops wear official BSA hats as part of the uniform, though this is optional.

7. Scout Book Cover (Optional):

• To protect the Scout Handbook, many Scouts purchase an optional Scout book cover. It is highly recommended to protect the Handbook.
