Scouts Canada is a uniformed organization. The uniform helps build a feeling of belonging, pride and self-discipline.
A full and complete Cub uniform is required for all activities unless indicated otherwise. At each formal event the full uniform is worn. For less formal activities (such as regular meetings), the sash is not required. For some rough-and-tumble-and-let’s-get-dirty activities, only the necker is worn – and it is tied (leave the woggle at home!)
Cubs are required to wear running shoes while involved in indoor activities. Your child will not be allowed to participate in sock feet for safety reasons.
The shirt will have all the identifying badges/patches that identify to which:
organization (World Organization of the Scout Movement),
country (Canada),
province (Ontario),
council (Greater Toronto),
area (Seaton),
and group (91st Toronto)
your Cub belongs. Those that don’t come with the shirt will be provided. Where to sew on the badges is identified in the Cub Book.
Epaulettes (also provided) will be handed out to indicate that your Cub has been invested,
and are also used to indicate whether a Cub is a sixer or a second.
The sash is red, with yellow stripes. On the sash will go the stars, badges, and awards that the Cub earns either during the meetings or through personal or family activities.
The necker is the easiest way to identify which pack a Cub belongs to. Each pack has its own distinctive colours. Ours is green with a yellow trim.
The standard way of attaching it is with the Cub woggle, or for more active occasions a well-tied reef knot. The necker and the first woggle will be provided.
Dark blue pants or shorts are to be worn to each meeting and formal occasion. Jeans OK, but no holes, or cut-offs please. There is a Cub belt and buckle that can be purchased but we consider this an optional item.
