The Webelos and Arrow of Light Uniform
A Scout is Thrifty - The Pack has a few gently used blue uniforms that were graciously donated by previous members, as they transitioned into Boy Scouts. If you are interested in please ask your Den Leader to point you to the Pack Leader or Committee Chair. If they are still in good shape when your scout makes it to Boy Scouts consider re-donating it for others to take advantage of.
If new is your thing, we highly recommend you visit our Scout Shop. The Colonial Virginia Scout Service Center and Scout Shop are located at 11834 Canon Blvd Suite L, Newport News, VA; located just outside of Newport News City Center.
If you are a Webelos II, you will most likely have to get your uniform from the Scout Shop or Online.
Wearing the Uniform
In general, every Cub Scout should wear his 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 a scout related activity shirt, usually received from Cub-o-Ree, Day Camp, or Webelos residence camp, participation. These are sometimes referred 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 blue jeans. 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.
