Adult Uniforms

Male Cub Scout Leader Uniforms

All men who are Scouting leaders wear the same uniform with shoulder loops that indicate their program (blue shoulder loops indicate Cub Scouting). The official uniform consists of the following parts:

• Trousers or shorts - Official olive trousers or shorts are available in cotton, polyester/cotton blend, and polyester/wool blend.
• Shirt - Official tan shirt is available with long or short sleeves, button-down pockets, and epaulets
• Socks - Olive socks are available in three lengths: ankle, crew, and knee.
• Belt - Leaders may opt to wear the olive web belt or an official leather belt.
• Cap - Leaders who opt to wear a cap may wear the blue and gold leaders' cap or they wear the same visored cap as the youth they serve.

Neckwear is also optional for leaders, but there are a handful of options:

• Necktie - An olive or tan dress tie may be worn.
• Necktie - A Cub Scout leader bolo tie is also available.
• Leader Neckerchiefs - A Cub Scout leader neckerchief with navy blue with gold edging and gold Cub Scout emblem may be worn by all Cub Scout leaders. Specialized neckerchiefs are also available for Tiger Cub den leaders and Webelos den leaders.

Female Cub Scout Leader Uniforms

Women who serve as adult leaders in the Cub Scout program have two uniform options.

Tan/Olive Uniform

Female leaders may wear the tan and olive uniform, identical to the one worn by men. Uniform options for women also include culottes or a skirt, and a scarf is available as a neckwear option. Female leaders who wear culottes or a skirt may opt to wear hose instead of the uniform socks.

Blue/Gold Uniform

Female leaders in Cub Scouting also have the option of wearing a blue and gold uniform, consisting of:

• Trousers, shorts, skirt, or culottes—Official blue.
• Blouse—Yellow shirt is available with long or short sleeves, button-down pockets, and epaulets.
• Socks—Official blue socks are available in three lengths: ankle, crew, and knee. Female leaders who wear culottes or skirt may opt to wear hose instead.
• Belt—Official blue web belt with the Cub Scout logo.
• Cap—Leaders who opt to wear a cap may wear the blue and gold leaders' cap or they wear the same visored cap as the youth they serve.
• Neckwear—Options include the Cub Scout leader neckerchief, special neckerchiefs for Tiger Cub den leaders and Webelos den leaders, or an official scarf.

Note: While leaders may opt to wear either the tan/olive or the blue/gold uniform, mixing components is not permitted; e.g., the olive skirt with the yellow blouse is not an official uniform option.

Where to Purchase Items:

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.

Before most pack meetings we normally make a trip to the Scout Shop. You might contact the Advancement Chair 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 does occasionally special order the Red "Pack Number" Patch so you don't have to sew four number patches separately. Pack number patches are available at Pack Meetings.
