Uniform

Whenever you see a person in a uniform, you get a quick sense of who they are and what they do. The members of a sports team wear their uniforms to say "I belong to this group." Police officers and firefighters wear their uniforms to say "I provide a service to my community." Even superheroes wear uniforms to say "I'm one of the good guys, and I stand for what's right."

Just like all of these people, Scouts also wear a uniform, and for the very same reasons. As a Cub Scout, you belong to a special group of people, you give service to your community, and you have made a promise to do your best to be one of the "good guys." Wearing your uniform is a way of saying these things to everyone who sees you.

Parts of the Uniform

The parts that make up your Cub Scout uniform are these: (items in bold are items that the pack requests each scout to have) If cost is an issue please see an Adult Leader for assistance with the uniform. (we have several items in our "Scout Closet" that can be of assistance also)

Tiger/Wolf/Bear

• The Cub Scout shirt, with long or short sleeves
• A cap that shows your rank in Cub Scouting—orange for Tiger Cub, yellow for Wolf Cub Scout, blue for Bear Cub Scout, and plaid for Webelos/Arrow of Light Scout
• A neckerchief that matches the color of your cap
• A blue belt with a brass buckle
• Cub Scout shorts or trousers
• Official blue socks with orange or gold tops (orange tops for Tiger Cubs; gold or yellow tops for all other ranks)

Webelos Scouts and Arrow of Light

Are close to becoming Boy Scouts, some Webelos dens choose to wear the tan and olive uniform similar to the one that Boy Scouts wear (tan shirt, neckerchief / slide, olive shorts/slacks, olive socks). But if you are using the Blue uniform, you may continue to use it until they have out grown it.

Items pictured below are what items you need for your Scout's uniform. There are more items you may purchase if you wish.
