Wearing the Uniform

Parents should emphasize to their Scouts the importance of wearing the correct and complete uniform on all suitable occasions.

In general, every Cub Scout should wear their uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack.

Pack leaders will provide advance notice of any occasion when the Scouts should wear anything other than the complete uniform.

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.
DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing.

Pack 545 Insignia

When a child first joins Cub Scouting, their uniform will display only those badges that identify their status.

As your Scout progresses, they will earn badges, pins, medals, and other insignia that tell of their accomplishments in Scouting. These items should be added to the uniform only after they have been earned and must be placed in the BSA approved location.

Some items are not worn on the uniform. Instead, they can be worn on a red vest purchased from the scout store.

If you have any questions regarding where an item should be placed on the uniform, ask the Cubmaster.
