There is a new “Centennial” Scout uniform—Do I have to buy new Summer uniforms if I already have a short sleeved uniform, scout shorts and scout socks?

No, you do not have to buy new uniforms if you already have them. If you have the “old style”

Summer uniform that is perfectly acceptable. But you will need two uniforms, to be sure. Some

Scouts “borrow” Summer uniform parts from brothers or friends in their home troops who aren’t

attending the Jamboree. Others with one short sleeve shirt decide to buy a new one just for the

Jamboree, to keep after as a souvenir with all of their Jamboree insignia and patches on it. One

thing to think about is that the Centennial supplex uniforms are much better suited to the high

heat and humidity of the Jamboree than the old cotton blend ones.
