The Bear Uniform

The Bear Cub Scout uniform has the following parts:

1. Shirt - The official Cub Scout uniform shirt (long or short sleeves.)

2. Pants - Shorts, long pants, zip-off pants, skorts, and roll up pants are all available in official blue.

3. Belt - Official navy-blue web belt with metal buckle (this is important because your Scout will earn beltloops that go on it for completing adventures!)

4. Socks - Official socks are available in three lengths: ankle, crew, and knee. Bear socks have a yellow band on the top.

5. Hat - Official blue hat with light blue front and Bear emblem.

6. Neckerchief - Light blue triangular neckerchief with Bear logo.

7. Neckerchief slide - Official gold-tone metal slide with light blue Bear emblem.

8. Shirt patches - American flag patch, Baltimore Area Council patch, and Pack numbers (3, 6, 0 in white thread with red background.) Shirts bought at a retail location may be purchased with flag and council patches already sewn on (you'll still end up paying for them but you won't have to sew them on yourself!)


*Please note that the use of some items is decided upon by the Pack, Den Leader, or voted on by the families in the den. Consult your Den Leader about which items are required for your den.

Sewing not in your skillset? No worries! Scout Shops sell (in store and online) a product called "Badge Magic." This semi-permanent heat-set double-stick tape allows you to place patches on your uniform shirts and then set them in your clothes dryer!

The Uniform Code:

Your child should/will be encouraged to wear this uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. They should understand the importance of representing the entire Scouts BSA organization while in uniform.
