Boy Scout uniforms are getting a facelift in 2008 in preparation for the centennial of Boy Scouting. Available in mid-August, the new uniform boasts high-performance, multifunctional new shirts and pants that will look great at everything from ceremonies to getting out--hiking, camping, and community service.
If you are wearing out or growing out of your current uniform and looking for replacements, purchasing the new uniform after it's August 2008 release is fine but you DO NOT have to buy a new uniform just because they become available this year. The intent is to make the new uniforms available in plenty of time for the 2010 National Jamboree. Troop 7 will phase them in over time and during the transition will have scouts and adults wearing both old and new style uniforms.
