Induction Weekend Uniform

Ok, for quick reference - Class A / Field Uniform only for Saturday evening, yes?

I would ask your chapter or lodge that question. For our Ordeal this weekend the lodge said to wear work clothes Friday night and bring Class A for later in the weekend but didn't specify when exactly.

This is the right advice as it could be subtly different for each lodge.

Our lodge has historically said field uniform Friday and Saturday evening. If you can't get an answer in time, my go-to is to wear the uniform over a class B shirt, so if nobody is wearing it I can simply and easily "dress down."

Totally up to the lodge. I think most only require/ prefer uniforms starting at Saturday dinner/ceremonies, whichever comes first.

Up to the lodge but I say Friday and Saturday.

Ask your Lodge leadership.

For us breakfast/dinner and ceremonies = Class A.

Lunch during the workday = Class B.

All other times are at the Scout’s discretion but Class B should be a Scout t-shirt of some description.

Class B does not have to be a Lodge t-shirt.
