Cub Scout Uniform



Your uniform is an important part of being a Cub Scout. Wearing it lets people know that you belong to a den, a Cub Scout pack, and most important, you belong to the Boy Scouts of America!

Official Uniform also known as a "field uniform."

You should wear this uniform to den meetings, pack meetings, and any other special activities you participate in as a scout.

Alternate Uniform

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities the pack may allow the scouts to wear an alternative uniform. This uniform consists of a pack activity T-shirt, and activity specific pants or shorts, and footwear. Pack Leaders will provide advanced notice of any occasion where Scouts should wear anything other than the official uniform.

Adventure Loops and Pins
The uniform displays adventure loops and adventure pins so that the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
