1 long sleeve Boy Scout shirt

1 short sleeve boy Scout Uniform

1 pair Boy Scout pants (w/ belt and socks)

 

1 Sea Scout working (khaki) Uniform

I have a least my shirt from the 70's with an Eagle Badge on it hanging in a closest but don't remenber if the pants are there (but the field cap is).

The red beret is long gone as our Troop hated them and only got them to go to Jambo and told Mom to feel free to give to anyone who wanted it.

Do you mean uniforms you wear vs uniforms that you may have outgrown, but still keep around?

 

Of uniforms I wear, that includes:

 

1 Sea Scout White uniform (including belt, pants, and shorts)

1 Sea Scout Tan uniform (including belt, pants, and shorts)

 

2 Venturing green shirts for one council I work with.

1 Venturing green shirt for another council I work with.

the above 3 have the 2007 WSJ patches on them. I plan on switching 2 of them for the 2010 NSJ sometime soon. I may pick up another shirt so that I have 3 shirts for the 2010 NSJ, but not sure.

 

2 Venturing green shirts for yet another council I used to work with. Will probably change the CSPs and office patches on these. One of these has the 2001 NSJ patch on it, the other the 2005 NSJ, and both have the 2007 WSJ on the pocket. Those will stay as I always keep 1 shirt with an old Jambo patch I attended.

 

I have several pairs of charcoal gray shorts (2 styles) and a pair of zip off charcoal gray pants and a more dressy pair of charcoal gray pants I wear with them, along with several pairs of Venturing socks. For belts, while I have a Venturing web belt, I normally wear either my Philmont belt/buckle or my WOSM belt.

 

For uniforms I don't wear:

 

I still have several ODL tan shirts I've outgrown and not worn since the mid 1990s, 2 Venturing shirts I've outgrown, and 1 navy crackerjack I have for demo purposes (got off eBay cheap).

 

I got rid of any ODL-related pants. I had outgrown them back in the mid-1990s, and when Venturing came out, went that route.

 

I also collect scouting memoriabilia, so have picked up unused old green Explorer shirts and an sky blue Air Explorer uniform shirt.

2 "half uniforms" - complete from the waist up (so far).

 

1 shirt with the Cub Master POR.

1 shirt that was just purchased for Troop Committee POR.

1 Uniform with District Committee POR (still to be purchased)

 

I just finished up my "Cub Master" role with my son's Pack this past Sunday, so the Cubmaster Shirt will be officially "retired" (and it needs it after 4.5 years of hard use). The Pack Committee considered the scout pants "optional" (which is a different discussion all together) so I never purchased them.

 

Still have to purchase the "bottom half" of the "Troop" uniform (the scout shop was out of stock when I purchased the shirt) and a second complete uniform for my District Committee work.

"How Many Uniforms Do You Have?"

Way too many!!

Enough that makes me wonder why the heck did I ever want to spend all that money on?

I have not bought any part of the new uniform.

Apart from Sea Scout Uniforms.

I have a drawer full of socks with red tops, some long and some short.

18 pairs of Scout shorts.

9 Pair of long pants.

26 Scout Shirts. (I think two of these might belong to OJ and HWMBO put them in the wrong place.)

One red wool shirt-jacket.

Two red nylon jackets.

Two campaign hats.

I'm very much sewing impaired so buying a new shirt was easier than changing patches.

Some have 2001 Jambo patches on, some 2005 Jambo patches. Some have the Regional Patch on from when I served on the Area Committee, some have the position patch of whatever position I held on different WB courses, some have District Commissioner patches on, some have District Committee or Chairman patches on.

I have 1 older tan short sleeve shirt I started DL/CM with....that one became my Boy Scout shirt I often wear when camping.

 

I have a 2nd older tan short sleeve shirt I bought as CM when I went thru Woodbadge and soon after became on eof the ASM's in my sons Boy Scout Troop.

 

The latest short sleeve shirt is the new style, the stretchy one with the back vents.

 

Only 2 have the 5 leader knots I have earned, and OA lodge flap. The new one is a "slick" other than the OA lodge flap and postion/trained/quality Unit. Only the one WB shirt has a "Buffalo" Adult Patrol patch (even though I should have removed it). I'll probably use it as my "staff" shirt this year for Woodbadge.

 

I also have 1 pair of regular Scout pants, at least 2 pair of switchback pants (I wore as "shorts" so much they don't match the legging. 1 pair of regular Scout shorts (when I was CM).

 

I also have several olive cargo shorts for camping that are so close to the switch backs it's not noticeably different.

 

I probably have 1/2 dozen BSA ball caps and more BSA/Camp/Troop/Staff T-shirts than I can wear during the summer.

Actually everything I have I can wear today, if I changed the patches :( I hate sewing.

 

Usually I give my old shirts and pants away once I out grow them. Heck one time I gave a brand new off the hanger uniform to one new scout who joined at 15. Supply issued it to me, but with the boatload of other uniform items I had (4 full new sets of ODL uniforms with current pants or shorts and one full Venturing Uniform all with all the supply division trimmings) he needed it more than I did.

1 ODL long sleeve with patches

1 ODL short sleeve with patches

1 pair ODL pants

2 pair ODL shorts

2 pair Switchbacks (pre-centennial)

1 scout web belt

1 tooled leather belt with Goshen Scout Reservation 35th anniversary buckle.

More scout socks than I can count as I got all my son's when he aged out.

No neckers or uniform hats as our troop doesn't wear them.

 

I plan to buy at least one centennial shirt before summer, probably short sleeve. Don't know what I'll use the Technology pocket for as I don't smoke and don't take my ipod camping ;-)

 

I just got 3 green custom troop number/veteran bar patches and will change out the ODL shirts as soon as I get a chance. I am already using the green tabs. Probably should replace red "Trained" patches as well for consistency.

 

I have no swords or bayonets but sometimes think a large club would help.
