Great 5 mile hike through the Red Rock Wilderness. From turkey vultures flying overhead to lizards impressing us with their pushup skills; smelling sagebrush and tasting wild mustard, a good time was had by all. Bonus: we found our first Geocache!

🎽 Uniforms in Scouts BSA — What’s the Difference?

There are two common ways Scouts show their identity:

👔 Field Uniform
The official uniform—worn at meetings, ceremonies, and formal events. It builds pride and unity.

👕 Activity Uniform
A more relaxed option—often a troop or Scouting T-shirt—used for outings, service projects, and active events.

💡 Important reminder:
A Scout is never denied participation or advancement due to not having a uniform.

It’s not about what you wear—it’s about living the values.
