Patrol Leader's Council

The troop’s plans for each month are reviewed and carried out by the Patrol Leader's Council (PLC).
The PLC is made up of the senior patrol leader, who presides over the meetings, the assistant senior patrol leader, all patrol leaders, and the troop guide. The troop scribe also attends to take notes and keep the minutes.

Class A/Field Uniform

“Scouting America has always been a uniformed body. Its uniforms help to create a sense of belonging. They symbolize character development, leadership, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Wearing a uniform gives youth and adult members a sense of identification and commitment.“

Troops 7 & 77 wear the Class A uniform at any official scout function unless otherwise directed by leadership.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

First Troop meeting of the month
For Boards of Review
Award Recognition Ceremonies
Parades or Special Service Ceremonies (Veteran's Day, etc)
Summer camp Dining Hall for dinner

Class B shirts & items

While Class B is not strictly a uniform, we wear them to match!

Class B shirts consist of a Troop shirt, which can include a Troop-specific shirt, a Scout-themed shirt, or a scout summer camp-themed shirt. The outfit can include pants or shorts (cargo style is best), Class B sweatshirt, and optional Class B headwear.

Typically Class B items are worn for all non-Class A activities unless otherwise noted, including:

Scout Meetings
Camping or Hiking Trips
Adventure Base Camp
Community Service
Eagle Scout project assistance

Often there are spare Class B shirts and items in the Troop Office; please see a scoutmaster if you are looking for anything!

⬇️To purchase from Elite Embroidery, you will need a password to enter; all new scouts receive this in their Welcome Packets. It is also available in Slack. If you cannot find it, please email TroopsofButtonwoods@gmail.com.
