Uniform and insignia of the Boy Scouts of America: Difference between revisions

All shirts except the blue Cub Scout shirt have shoulder straps (often referred to as [[epaulette]]s). Colored shoulder loops (often called tabs) are worn on the straps to indicate the program level. Cub Scouting adults at the pack level and Webelos Scouts who choose to wear the khaki shirt use blue shoulder loops. Boy Scouts and troop-level adults use red shoulder loops, while Varsity Scouts and team-level adults use blaze (orange) loops. Green shoulder loops identify Venturing youth and adults at the crew level. Adults or youth with a district or council position wear silver loops while those with area, regional or national positions wear gold loops.
