Why Do We Wear Uniforms?
The Boy Scouts of America has always been a uniformed body. There are many reasons for
this. One reason stands out above all the rest. We wear the uniform because it is a means
of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed-character
development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness.
The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys and adults alike should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended.
