The uniform is the Scout's identification with the brotherhood of Scouting and should be worn with pride. The uniform makes us visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in our community. The uniform symbolizes our committment to the aims and purposes of Scouting.
There are two types of uniforms for Troop 1188; Class A , Class B.
The Class A uniform consists of the official Boy Scout shirt along with a Boy Scout or plain hat, bolo tie and earth-tone jeans. The jeans will be neat, clean, and not torn. For Star and above a merit badge sash is included. Official shorts or pants, and socks are optional. The Class A uniform is required to be worn:
| To all Courts of Honor |
| At designated meetings and functions |
| During travel to and from all camp outs |
| To all Boards of Review and Scoutmaster conferences. |
| To district, council, and national Scouting events |
| To other events as specified by the Scoutmaster. |
The Class B uniform consists of a Boy Scout or plain hat, a Boy Scout T-shirt and blue jeans. The blue jeans will be neat, clean, and not torn. The Class B uniform is required to be worn to all Boy Scout events when not in Class A
Clothing items that promote sports teams, alcoholic products, gangs, drugs or contain inappropriate language are never permitted at any Scouting event. Boy Scouts are not a military unit. Camouflage attire is not permitted. Parents are urged to direct their son to follow these rules.
