1. The tie is optional. I costs about 7 bucks.
2. You can substitute the SPP uniform blouse worn under the jumper for the official GS blouse to save yourself 17 bucks.
3. The stars (under the troop number) will be given to you for last year and this coming brownie year, and you do not need to purchase them.
4. The bridging patch will be given to you if you bridged, and you do not need to purchase them.
5. The top pin on the right-side of the vest was given to us for free when we ordered our vest, and is not mandatory. It is a trefoil 100 yr pin that can be worn above the other pin.
6. GS socks, ankle or knee sock, are optional. Any sock that matches is fine.
