Uniforms, Patches, and Accessories
Helpful Tip: Visit the BSA Guide on Uniforms for New Scouts Here! Scouts in uniform are more conscious of their role in Cub Scouting, and feel a sense of pride and belonging when wearing one. A uniform provides a proper place for the display of badges earned and a way for him to ‘show the world’ that he has been rewarded for his achievements. In addition, Scouts in uniform create a strong, positive, visible image in the community that helps to strengthen the important ties between the public and the Scouting organization. Shirts and Shorts / Pants The Scout ‘Class A’ Pack uniform is worn to the Pack Meetings and other events, as specified by Pack Leaders. The main article of the uniform is the shirt, as it displays the rank of the Scout, and identifies them as belonging to a certain Den, Pack and Council. When purchasing a new uniform, remember that your child is growing and if, for example, they are now a newly signed up Wolf Cub, get an extra size or two larger, so they can wear it for their Bear year as well. The tried and true method is to get a shirt that reaches your Tiger’s knees, they will grow into it. As we are operating as a ‘Jeans Pack,” blue jeans, in good condition, are a comfortable alternative to the official Scout uniform bottoms. The official Scout uniform bottoms are acceptable if you already own them. Pack 89 has a ‘Class B’ Pack T-shirt and will have them for sale and/or order at many of our activities. Patches In addition to the purchasing of a uniform, there will be many patches that need to be sewn on your scout’s shirt. Please pay close attention as to where on the uniform these need to be placed. It is important that when your scout receives a badge that is to be a part of their uniform, you affix it to their shirt as soon as possible. They earned it, and they deserve to have it displayed. Thank you. A uniform is something that a Scout can help pay for themselves by assigning them various chores around the house, or helping out with other home projects. Also, keep in mind that uniforms, Scout accessories, camping supplies, and other ‘Scout stuff’ make excellent birthday and holiday presents for your child or the Scouter in your family. |
