The Cub Scout uniform is an important part of delivering the complete Scouting experience to your child. Wearing uniforms has been a method of the Scouting movement from the beginning. Decades of experience show uniforms have many benefits, including these:
Equality – The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Scouts from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.
Identification – the uniform identifies scouts as a member of the Cub Scouts. Badges on the uniform tell other members that they belongs to their den, pack, and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.
Achievement – The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
Commitment – Wearing a uniform is a constant reminder to each Cub Scout of their commitment to the ideals and purposes of Cub Scouting: duty to God, loyalty to country, and helpfulness to others.
For these reasons, among others, Leaders and Scouts should strive to wear the correct and complete uniform at all meetings.
Lion Scouts are growing so fast and are always on the go! The official uniform for the Lion Dens is the official Lion t-shirt and neckerchief. Optional items are the scout belt, cap and pants/shorts/skorts and socks.
Tiger - Webelos I Scouts wear the same basic uniform with different caps and neckerchiefs for each rank. The official uniform is the Cub Scout blue uniform shirt, blue shorts/pants/skorts, belt, socks, and neckerchief. Blue non-BSA shorts/blue jeans are an acceptable alternative to the offical blue shorts/pants/skorts.
Arrow of Light Scouts are forming their own patrols and preparing for joining a Scouts BSA Troop. Their uniform reflects this in the official tan uniform shirt, green shorts, green web belt, green socks, rank specfic hat and neckerchief, and Webelos colors.
Pack 102 and Troop 102 have extra blue and tan uniforms if you are in need of any part. Just contact your den leader for more information.
