We will wear any combination of these uniform parts on the Island, as decided by leadership throughout the day. If you would like to have more than one pair of pants or shorts, you may of course, order them, but it is not necessary as we do laundry every evening.
ALL uniform parts must be labeled with your name before they will be approved and checked off. This includes your shoes!
Uniforms will be checked off at the overnight. You are expected to have all uniform parts with you, ready to be checked at that time. Try on and order all necessary parts before this meeting. If your pants are not hemmed correctly or your patches are not sewn on, you will be staying up late at that meeting to sew. You will have to try on all parts of your uniform in order for them to be approved, so please make sure they fit ahead of time. You will not get “partial credit” for uniform parts. You MUST have BOTH polos at the same time, with patches and Velcro/snap. Pants MUST be hemmed.
If you will not be at the overnight, you are expected to have your entire uniform at the March meeting.
Navy blue jackets, khaki socks and patches will be handed out to new girls at the March meeting. This will provide opportunity for the patches to be sewn onto your polos prior to the overnight. White sweatshirts will be handed out to everyone at the overnight meeting in April. Ponchos will be distributed at the June meeting.
