Distinctive Dress Identity for Venturing


Recommended Posts

Venturing Handbook " The BSA green Venturing shirt is available for wear by Venturers and adult leaders. The green Venturing short-sleeve shirt with green shoulder loops will be worn with charcoal gray shorts or long pants as the recommended field uniform for Venturers. MALE AND FEMALE VENTURERS SHOULD NOT WEAR THE BSA TAN SHIRT WITH GREEN SHOULDER LOOPS. Existing insignia placement policies related to BSA uniforms shall apply to the green Venturing shirt. Crews choosing to wear a patch related to their specialty may do so on the right shoulder sleeve. District,division, council, and national adult leaders related to Venturing may wear the green Venturing shirt. Sea Scouts may choose to wear nautical-style uniforms using Sea Scouting insignia available from the BSA Supply Division. A uniform if any is the choice of the crew. Is this officially unofficial. What if a crew just chooses to wear the Venturing green shirt with jeans is that allowed?

To my understanding, if a Crew decides they want to be Uniformed with the Uniform the BSA provides for them ( kelley green short-sleeve shirt with green shoulder loops with charcoal gray shorts or long pants) they can do so.

 

If the Crew decides they do not want to be a uniformed Crew, than they do NOT wear a Uniform.

 

If a Crew decides they should wear blue shorts with a bright orange tee shirt, they can.

 

They can not pick and choose/mix and match BSA uniform items with non BSA uniform items items.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong...

From my understanding, the uniform (Kelly green Venturing shirt with grey Venturing pants/shorts) is recommended and not required, however it does not state that non BSA uniform items cannot be worn with BSA uniform items related to Venturing. There is no official Venturing uniform, just the recommended uniform. So crews can determine if they want to wear polo's, t-shirts, Kelly green Venturing shirt with grey dickies, jeans, khaki's, cargo's, etc...

from the Venturing Handbook " A uniform if any is the choice of the crew" crew can also mean ship, or in the case of an Air Scout Squadron the squadron. Could Air Force Blue uniforms be worn by Air Scouting Venturers, what legal ramifications would they have to encounter even if they could obtain the uniforms? What other choices can they make, or do they have to wear a uniform at all. What are the pros and cons of uniform wear vs DDI such as t shirt, jacket, or even a neckerchef with a sweatshirt.

Hi,

 

The uniform flexibility is for Venturing Crews designing a Crew uniform without using the Spruce Green Shirt.

 

In a Ship there is no flexibility. The uniform is what it is. Whites, Blues, and work. The only flexibility is whether you add a distinctive ship's patch. The Sea Scout uniform is what it is.
