UNIFORMS
Why Do Cubs Wear Uniforms?
The Boy Scouts of America has always been a uniformed body. There are many reasons for
this. One reason stands out above all the rest. We wear the uniform because it is a means
of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed: character
development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness.
The fact that youth and adult members of Scouting wear a uniform doesn't mean that we're
all alike. We come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds. We have our own religious
beliefs and political views. We are each individuals with our own family traditions and
loyalties. So the uniform is not intended to hide our individuality. But it is a way we
give each other strength and support. It is a bond that ties us together in spite of our
differences. It is a way of making visible our commitment to a belief in God, loyalty to
country, and to helping other people.
The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly
identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not
alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys and adults alike
should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended.
Our Pack's Uniform Policy
Our Pack requires a uniform from the waist up only. Uniforms should be worn by
Cubs and adult leaders at all Den and Pack Meetings, and on any outings.
The Tiger Cub uniform is an official orange Tiger Cub T-shirt, and a Tiger Cub hat.
Uniforms for Wolf, Bear, & Webelos include shirt (including appropriate patches),
neckerchief, neckerchief slide, and Cub Scout or Webelos hat. Wolf and Bear Cubs wear a
blue Cub Scout shirt. Webelos wear the tan Boy Scout shirt.
