If an emblem or badge is noted to be "earned", it is not needed on the uniform to start with - they are only available in your local council trading post or Scout Shop with required paperwork (or online by following these steps). All emblems and badges are sold separately.

1. US Flag Emblem: New uniforms already have this sewn on in the correct position - right sleeve, position #1.

2. Den Number: Right sleeve, position #2. (This does not apply to Big Bear Scouts as we have one den for each grade)

3. Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Emblem: This is an earned emblem and goes on the flap of the right pocket.

4. Temporary Patch Position: Only one temporary patch can be worn at a time; these can be hung from the right pocket button, either by the emblem button loop or with an emblem holder. These are earned patches.

5. World Crest Emblem and World Crest Ring: The World Crest Emblem is required for all uniforms and is worn above the left pocket. The World Crest Ring is optional but very common; the Ring is worn around the World Crest emblem above the left pocket between the left shoulder seam and the top of the left pocket, or 3/8” above the pocket seam.

6. Cub Scout Rank: These form a diamond shape once they have all been earned.

   • The Bobcat badge is in position #1 on the left pocket, centered and directly beneath the flap.

   • The Wolf rank badge is position #2 on the left pocket, to the left and down from the Bobcat emblem.

   • The Bear rank badge is position #3 on the left pocket, to the right and down from the Bobcat emblem.

   • The Tiger rank badge is position #4 on the left pocket, directly underneath the Bobcat emblem.

   • The Lion rank badge goes underneath the left pocket, roughly 1.25” from the bottom of the pocket seam.

7. Council Shoulder Patch: Left sleeve, position #1. This patch lines up perfectly with the sleeve seam because of its curved upper edge!

8. Unit Numerals: Left sleeve, position #2. These go right under the Council Shoulder Patch (touching if a veteran unit bar is not worn).

Not into sewing? Check out the Badge Magic kits that are basically peel-and-stick stickers made specifically for the emblems and patches of the Cub Scout uniform.
