How do I know what to buy for the uniform?
At the very minimum, you will need the following:
- 1st - 3rd grade - blue uniform dress shirt: short or long sleeve.
- 4th - 5th grade - blue or tan uniform dress shirt: short or long sleeve.
- council patch that says "Northern New Jersey Council"
- patches of numbers 2 and 0
- purple Fleur-de-lis patch (World Crest Patch)
- hat that corresponds to your scout's den level
- neckerchief that corresponds to your scout's den level

Do I have to sew the patches on the uniform?
You don't have to sew them on, as they can be ironed on. However, iron-on patches will eventually start coming off. If you want to have them sewn-on but you don't know how to, you can take them to a local dry cleaners. Some will sew them on for $1.00 per patch. To be sure, ask them first, though.
