Uniforms

Wearing the Uniform

Every Cub Scout should wear his or her uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, unless otherwise stated. The invites for the events will specify a Class A or Class B uniform. Please make sure your Scout is in the correct uniform for all events as this is part of our identity as Scouts.

The Class A Uniform – the “formal” Cub Scout shirt, neckerchief, belt and slide – is REQUIRED for all Pack and Den meetings, as well as other special events. BSA issued hat, shorts or pants and socks are optional. Lions are only required to wear the BSA Lion t-shirt as their Class A uniform.

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, the Pack may opt to have the Cub Scouts wear their Class B Uniform, consisting of the blue Pack activity shirt with the yellow Pack 351 insignia.

Pack or Den leaders will provide advance notice of any occasion when scouts should wear anything other than the complete uniform. Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the Pack or Den leaders for guidance.

Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:

• DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
• DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a uniform with parts missing is not in uniform.
• DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
