Cub Scout uniforms serve a dual purpose, demonstrating that a Scout is part of a team and showing individual achievement (Scouts wear the badges they’ve earned). Wearing the uniform to meetings and activities also encourages a neat appearance, and good behavior.
Below is information on what your Scout will need and where to find it either on-line or at our local Scout Shop.
Short or Long Sleeved Class A Uniform Shirt - Unisex - Navy Blue. Pack 903 Recommends a short sleeved shirt as you can always layer. We recommend purchasing a few sizes larger as you can always hem it in. Lions may purchase the Lion T-Shirt or the regular uniform. Purchase Here
Short or Long Class A Uniform Pants - Unisex - Navy Blue. The long pants can unzip into shorts which is convenient. There is also a "Skort" available for girls if you prefer. Pack 903 considers the pants optional, however whichever you provide should be Navy Blue, in good condition and respectful in nature. Purchase Here
Belt - Navy Blue. Purchase Here
Hat - You should purchase the hat that matches the current rank your Scout is working on. For example, Kindergartners = Lion, Tigers = 1st Grade, Wolves = 2nd Grade, Bears = 3rd Grade, Webelos = 4th and 5th Grade. Purchase Here
Shoes - No official issued footwear, however, shoes should be clean and appropriate for the meeting / event activity.
Neckerchief & neckerchief slide are provided by the Pack.
Patches - Every new Cub Scout Uniform will need the following patches sewn on (not pinned). The uniform shirts usually come with the USA flag pre-sewn, if not, you will need that flag patch as well. See illustrations below for patch placement and/or talk with your Adult Leaders.
