The uniform makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences of class and country.
Trail Life USA Handbook
First year participants at the Navigators/Adventurers level will be provided the Handbook for their level as a gift for joining the Troop. The Woodlands Trail handbook may be purchased by families but please note they are not actively used by the Troop for advancement tracking.
Troop Uniform
Like traditional scouting programs, Trail Life USA is a uniformed program. For Trailmen, the uniform is a visible symbol of the adventure, character, and leadership instilled within. In addition to allowing Trailmen to display their program achievements, the uniform also helps to build a troop’s identity and is an important part of the program. Uniforms, except as noted for Class C, are available exclusively from Trail Life USA’s online store.
The Troop will provide our Troop number insignia patch to first-year participants.
A Guide to Troop Insignia Placement is available here.
