Pack 564 has what’s known as a “belt up” uniform policy, meaning the official pants are not required.
You will need to get the official uniform shirt, neckerchief, slide, belt, belt buckle, socks and the necessary patches (you’ll either need to sew these on yourself or pay someone else to do it. This work can be done at the Scout Store for a modest fee). The official scout pants, cap and other items are optional. You’ll also want to pick up a handbook for your son’s rank. Later, you may need additional equipment and supplies for some outings, such as camping trips.
