Students may wear navy blue bottoms, including trousers, skirts, skorts, and shorts. Students may wear dress or athletic shoes colored navy blue, black, white, or red. Belts and shoelaces must be solid colors. Students may wear outfits from a "nationally recognized youth organization" such as the Boy Scouts of America or Girl Scouts of the USA on meeting days.[2]
