The Cub Scout Uniform
The uniform is an important part of Scouting and represents:
Equality
The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Scouts from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.
Identification
Badges on the uniform tell other members that he belongs to their den, pack, and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.
Achievement
The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
Commitment
The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
What Uniform Do I Need?
Depending on your rank uniforms can vary. Because Cub Scouts are always growing, we try to get the most wear out of each uniform as possible.
