Uniform Guidelines
The uniform is an essential component of Cub Scouting, and are to be worn with pride at all scouting functions, unless the activity uniform (Pack T-shirt) has been approved by your Cubmaster or Den Leader. Uniforms are to be kept clean and tidy. Shirttails are to be kept tucked in at all times (Note: National has changed the shirttails policy in 2024, Pack 276 will still require scouts to tuck their uniforms in, with the exception of some women’s shirts that are made to be un-tucked).
Pack 276 has two approved uniforms for each member of the pack: Field Uniform also know as Class A uniform and Activity Uniform also know as Class B or Pack T-shirt. Field uniforms are used during pack and den meetings and when representing Pack 276. Activity uniforms can be wore when approved by the Cubmaster or Den Leader. In either case, a scout should always present a neat appearance. Pack 276 scouts may substitute the official scout pants, shorts, etc with olive green for Arrow of Light in Tan shirts only, all other ranks wear dark blue or blue jeans. NO plaid, sports shorts, camouflage or sweats are to be worn with your uniform. We thrive for a clean, sharp, uniform look.

Lion Uniforms (Kindergarten)
Lion scouts who are kindergartners.
The Lion slide, handbook looks like those shown below.
As Lions, each pack has the option to wear the Lion t-shirt OR to get the blue Cub Scout button up shirt. The Den will decide which the Lions will wear as we want them to all be in the same shirt AKA uniform uniforms. You are welcome to purchase the t-shirt, However should your den agree to the button up, please know that scouts would need to be in that to be in uniform. See below for uniform guides, if the button up shirt is chosen you will also need the Lion Neckerchief. Lions will also want to purchase the official cub scout belt, it is recommended to get it big so that they can wear it for a few years. The belt is where the Lion will put their Adventure loops that they will earn. EXPERT NOTE: You do not want to "cut" the belt to fit. The belt buckle is made to adjust to the needed size. They will also need the Lion Handbook which comes with a parent guide. It will look like the one pictured above.
