Tiger Uniform
The Uniform Code
Your Scout should/will be encouraged to wear their uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. Scouts should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform.
The Tiger Uniform
Required Items:
The official blue uniform shirt is available with long or short sleeves and has button-flap pockets
Official blue hat with orange front and Tiger emblem
Cub Scout Cut-to-Fit Canvas Web Belt
The shirt will last through third Grade - so size it appropriately. Short sleeved shirts are recommended since the sleeves will still "fit" when too big.
The Belt is used to hold the Adventure Belt Loops as they are earned.
Optional Items:
Required Patches:
Time to Sew?
The image to the right will help with the placement of emblems and patches.
There are a lot of helpful tutorials and resources available on the web for ensuring you get correct placement of patches.
Do You Have to Buy a New Uniform Each Year?
To get an idea of pricing, or to order items online, visit http://www.scoutstuff.org. This is the official online scout shop. They should have the same prices as our local scout shops. Uniforms are an investment, but after the first year the price goes down. As your Scout progresses, you can use the same shirt, which is the most costly item. You may need to purchase a:
new hat
new neckerchief
new slide.
Patches You Don't Need to Buy
Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your Scout earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew them on, but they are provided.
Where to Purchase Items
Before most pack meetings we normally make a order from the Spokane Scout Shop. You might contact the Cubmaster if you need a patch or two - we might be able to save you a trip and pick them up for you at our cost. You are also welcome to order any needed items online or however you like.
* The Pack may have Council Patches and other standard patches in stock. Check with the Cubmaster, Committee Chair, or Advancement Chair for availability.
Wearing the Uniform
In general, every Cub Scout should wear their uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack.
When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, a pack may opt to have the Cub Scouts wear an alternate uniform, such as an activity shirt. These are sometimes refered to as Class B Uniforms.
Pack leaders should provide advance notice of any occasion when the boys should wear anything other than the complete uniform.
Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:
DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a uniform with parts missing is not in uniform.
DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing or wearing the uniform shirt with sweat pants. The uniform should be treated as a unit—worn in its entirety, or not at all.
Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
