Uniform
The uniform for both the Cub Scout and adult leader is an important and meaningful part of the Cub Scout program. Pack 184’s goal is to have each boy and adult leader in complete uniform as described by Boy Scouts of America. A uniform inspection will be conducted at least once during the year by the Cubmaster or his designee to identify any uniform deficiencies. The minimum requirements for Cub Scout uniforms are:
Class A
Class A uniforms should be worn at all pack and den meetings, and other den and pack functions unless announced otherwise.
- Shirt: Official BSA blue shirt for all Cubs and optional tan for Webelos.
- Patches must include: the Longs Peak Council shoulder patch, unit numbers and den patch sewn on as outlined in the boys scout book. Shirts must be worn completely buttoned and tucked into pants. Note: The change from blue shirt to tan at the Webelos level is a den leader and den parent decision for advancing Cubs. This change is part of the transition towards Boy Scouts. It is strongly suggested that all boys in a Webelos Den be in either blue or tan not a mixture of uniforms.
- Neckerchief: Proper color and worn under or over the collar secured with an appropriate neckerchief slide.
- Pants: Dark jeans with belt loops. Navy blue cords, black pants, etc. all in good condition must be worn at the waist. Dark colored shorts may be worn during hot weather months. BSA Policy does not allow camouflage colored pants.
- Belt: Official Cub Scout blue-web belt required with proper belt buckle for rank. The green Boy Scout belt is not permitted.
- Hat: Proper style for current Rank. Must be worn bill forward. Hat may be worn indoors for official Scout functions, unless otherwise directed to “uncover.” Hat should never be worn in a house of worship.
