Your scout needs a rank-appropriate uniform and handbook they will use throughout the year. Rank-specific shopping lists (including optional items) can be found below. These items can be purchased in-person or online at a Scout Shop. There are three locations in the area:

• In-person: Carolina Scout Shop (2121 Westinghouse Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28273)

Information on the Cub Scout Uniform can be found on Scouting.org. How to place patches can be found in Ultimate Cub Scout Patch & Badge Placement Guide. Consult the Boy Scouts of America’s Guide to Awards and Insignia for more information (Cub Scout-specific Guide).
