The cub scout uniform is an important part of scouting. The uniform represents a national youth leadership organization. It provides a sense of belonging as well as a place to display awards earned while in the program. It enforces equality for all youth and identifies them as part of the PACK or DEN. A scout is proud to wear and display the symbols of scouting and to be acknowledged as part of the BSA. While in Cub Scouts your son will have the opportunity to wear the NAVY Blue Uniform shirt while earning the TIGER, WOLF, BEAR & WEBELO'S Rank. Upon earning the Webelo's rank the scouts are asked to move into wearing the TAN uniform shirt. The TAN shirt is worn by Webelos as part of the transition into boy scouts. As it is the same shirt worn by the Boy scouts.

The scout may be asked to wear the class b t-shirt on certain field trips and den meetings depending on the location and event.
The leader will let the scout know when this is a requirement.
