CUB SCOUT UNIFORM GUIDE

What's the first thing a boy wants when he becomes a Cub Scout? The uniform, of course. The distinctive blue and gold uniform is undoubtedly one of the major incentives for young boys to become Cub Scouts. It is graphic evidence that they belong, that they are members of the world's largest boys' organization - "The Boy Scouts of America." The uniform also does these things for a boy:

  • It reminds him to live up to the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, and motto - Do Your Best.
  • It encourages neat, correct appearance as well as proper behavior.
  • It provides the only place for proper display of his badges and awards.
  • It reminds him of the steps along the Scouting trail and encourages him to continue into Boy Scouting.

The Cub Scout Uniform consists of:

  • Navy blue scout shirt (Navy blue or tan for Webelos)

  • Neckerchief

  • Neckerchief Slide

  • Cap

  • Trousers or Shorts

  • Belt

  • Socks

Scouts may also wear a red vest displaying their temporary patches and pins.  It is not considered part of the official uniform and should not be worn during inspections.

We encourage all scouts to wear the cub scout shirt, neckerchief, and neckerchief slide.  If you need assistance acquiring a uniform, please contact your den leader.
