Cub Scout Uniforms

Cub Scout Uniforms are optional, 

There are 2 types of uniforms in Cub Scouts - Class A Uniforms and Class B Uniforms.  

Class A Uniforms are a more polished looking uniform that is used for more formal events (i.e. pack meetings & parades); with that said, they can be warn to any event.  

Class B Uniforms are for less formal scouting events (i.e. charity clean-up events, den meetings, etc.). Please read below if you would like more information about scout uniforms.

Class A Uniform

The Cub Scout uniform ("Class A Uniform") is an important part of being a Cub Scout. Wearing it lets people know that the wearer is part of the Boy Scouts of America in addition to their Den and Pack. The official uniform should be worn to Pack meetings and any special Scouting activities. When you wear the full Cub Scout uniform, it shows you are a member of the team.

The official uniform for Cub Scouts includes blue Cub Scout pants or shorts and shirt with insignia for your rank. Each rank has its own cap, neckerchief and slide in the rank colors and a belt buckle to be worn with the blue Cub Scout belt as shown below. For reference on patch placement, please see the "Class A Patch Placement" document for download at the bottom of this page.

The Cub Scout uniform has the following parts:

• Shirt - The official uniform shirt is available with long or short sleeves and has button-flap pockets and “Boy Scouts of America” lettered in gold above the right pocket. 

• Trousers or shorts - Blue (not required)

• Belt - Official navy-blue web belt with metal buckle and Tiger, Cub Scout, or Webelos Scout emblem. 

• Socks - Not required
