Uniforms
Each boy gets to be part of a group demonstrated by their uniform, and each group has a personal sense of identity. The scout uniform is also a display case for a scout's individual accomplishments and recognitions.

Our Pack 907 provides each newly registered boy with a neckerchief and slide.  The official Cub Scout uniform shirt may be purchased at Nankin Hobby at Nine Mile and Farmington Roads, the official Scout shops in Waterford or Detroit, or online at the official website, http://www.scoutstuff.org.

Patches placed on the shirt (including the District Shoulder Patch, our Pack #907, the Den Number, and the World Crest Patch) are also available at these locations.  Our Pack provides the Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelo rank patches and other awards such as Webelos pins, Whittling Chip, Leave No Trace, Progress Beads, etc. as they are earned.

Most Scouts will also want to purchase a belt, because "beltloops" may be earned for academic and sports activities.  Some boys also choose to buy an official hat, pants or shorts, and/or socks.  Fun patches are sometimes given out at activities and may be displayed on a red "brag vest", but they may also be sewed onto any kind of jacket, blanket, or even displayed in a book like baseball cards.

Each Scout should purchase a handbook for their rank, which will guide them through the year and help them keep track of their progress.

Patch or Pin  Location and Info

 
Council Shoulder Patch 

 LEFT SLEEVE: Left shoulder along seam. It identifies which Council the Scout belongs to.


 Unit Numerals

 LEFT SLEEVE: Just below the bottom edge of the Council Patch. They identify the local unit (Pack or Troop) that the Scout belongs to. (This style, all one patch, is available for purchase at the Pack Meetings).
 World Crest
World Crest Patch

 LEFT POCKET: Centered above pocket, leaving room for service star pines and/or knots. Indicates that the Scout is part of the World Scouting Movement. This is the only patch that is universally worn by Scouts in all nations.
 Den Number
Den Number

 RIGHT SLEEVE: Below US Flag. This identifies the Den the Scout belongs to.
 Progress Toward RanksTiger Totem
Progress towards rank and Tiger Totem
RIGHT POCKET: Hung on button. Shows progress toward Wolf and Bear badges OR Tiger badge. 
Cub Ranks
Rank Patches


LEFT POCKET: Centered, in a diamond shape with Bobcat on top, Wolf on wearer's right, Bear on left, Tiger on bottom. This is appropriate for the blue uniform shirt.

Upon earning the Webelos badge and changing to a tan uniform shirt, the rank patches are replaced with the oval Webelos rank patch also centered on the LEFT POCKET:
Webelos badge

The Blue Webelos rank patch is suitable for either the tan or blue uniform shirt. Each Den may choose their preference of either blue or tan rank.  The blue Webelo rank is common in Pack 907 as not all Webelos are required to change to the tan uniform shirt.
 
 Arrow Points
Arrow Point Patches

 LEFT POCKET, blue shirt: Sewn below either Wolf or Bear rank patch (depending on which rank they were earned for) and below the pocket. Gold is centered beneath the rank patch, silver(s) are sewn in rows of two below gold.

An arrow point is awarded for each 10 elective achievements completed after the Wolf and Bear ranks are earned, gold for the first 10 and silver for each 10 after that. Some Scouts earn many silver arrow points.
 Service Star
Service Star Pin
 LEFT POCKET: Pinned above, centered (above any knots worn.) Shows number of years in Scouting. Background color indicates which branch of BSA service.

Note: This is confusing for some. Only ONE pin of a given color should be worn. A Cub Scout would only have a single Service Star pin at any given time showing how many years he has been in Scouts. When he goes to Boy Scouts, he may keep his Service Star with a yellow background and add his Boy Scout Service Star pin next to it (green background.) Adults may wear the Adult Leader pin as well as pins for years they were in Cub Scouting and/or Boy Scouting as a youth.
More information can be found here.
 Perfect Attendance
Perfect Attendance Pin

 LEFT POCKET: Pinned above pocket, next to Service Star Pin. Shows commitment to Scouting through attendance. Pack 907 considers perfect attendance to be no more than one missed den meeting and one missed pack meeting. Bars are added for each year this award is earned.
