What do I need to buy from the Scout Shop?
Parents only need to purchase the uniform components. See the Uniform Requirements page for details. If the pack has enough funds, there are times the neckerchief is purchased for the Scouts. Please inquire about neckerchiefs before you decide to purchase one, to see if you can get one for your Scout. Parents should not purchase any awards as the Pack purchases these for all Scouts.
How are awards awarded?
There are many awards the Pack provides to your scout. Once your scout achieves the requirement, the Pack Achievement Chair person will go to the Scout Shop and purchase all the loops and specific badges for the scouts. Loops and some badges will then be provided to your scout's Den Leaders for their disbursement at your Den meetings. Ranking badges, those that are awarded when your scout advances in rank (i.e. Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, etc..) will be awarded at a pack meeting on a prescribed date.
