Shirts
The same shirt will be used by the scout as they move through the ranks. The only reason to replace it would be if the shirt gets damaged, lost or outgrown. As a result, the Lions/Tigers typically have a larger size shirt to avoid having to replace it too quickly. (Typical size for Lions/Tigers is Youth Med)
Patches
The following patches are required for all Scouts:

The rest of the uniform items are optional - hats, belts, pants, shorts, etc. A belt is a nice to have accessory, especially when your Scout starts earning the Belt Loop Advancement awards.
