Uniform Notes:

On Founder's Day, Wednesday July 31, Arrowmen may wear the conference golf shirt or T-shirt with Scout pants or shorts, Scout socks, and Scout or conference visored cap.
Each participant is encouraged to also bring one or more T-shirts as

T-shirts are not to be worn at special functions.
Absolutely no variations to the official Scout uniform are to be made. No hats, helmets, or caps, other than those listed as the official NOAC uniform, shall be worn enroute or at the conference. (Contingent leaders are expected to set the example!)
