Scouts should have full Class A uniforms by the third meeting. This ensures that everyone is ready for all the activities and ceremonies that will be going at full speed, including Scout Sunday, Scouting events, etc.
Class A is the “Official Sea Scout Uniform,” as defined by BSA. We wear Class A for official occasions and formal ceremonies, so it should fit like business clothes—neither too small nor too big, no matter what fashion says.

“In our uniforms we are not just individuals, but representatives of the vast movement, a great cause, a vital part of a great nation.” —James E. West
Uniforming is an important part of developing program recognition and self-identity. By wearing the Sea Scout uniform, youth make a statement to observers about courtesy, thoughtfulness, honesty, and other core values that convey character.
Working on a vessel reinforces the fact that with privilege comes responsibility. The same is true with the privilege of wearing the Sea Scouts uniform. Anything done while wearing the uniform reflects upon the reputation of all Sea Scouts in our nation. It becomes each Sea Scouts' responsibility to always do the right thing, and it becomes each Sea Scout’s responsibility to keep the Sea Scouts uniform correctly creased, cleaned, and maintained.
