CUB & WEBELOS SCOUT UNIFORMING

What's the first thing a boy wants when he becomes a Cub Scout? The

uniform, of course. The distinctive blue and gold uniform is undoubtedly

one of the major incentives for young boys to become Cub Scouts. It is

graphic evidence that they belong, that they are members of the world's

largest boys' organization - "The Boy Scouts of America." The uniform also

does these things for a boy:

It reminds him to live up to the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the

Pack, and motto - Do Your Best.

It encourages neat, correct appearance as well as proper behavior.

It provides the only place for proper display of his badges and

awards.

It reminds him of the steps along the Scouting trail and encourages

him to continue into Boy Scouting.

Please note that individual uniform parts may not be worn with civilian

clothing, and that various other types of Cub Scout garments are available,

such as T-shirts, sweat shirts, red patch vests, etc. These are for casual

wear and are not considered part of the official uniform.

WEBELOS SCOUT UNIFORMING

TWO UNIFORMS TO CHOOSE FROM

The Webelos Scout may choose either the blue

Webelos uniform based on the Cub Scout uniform, or

the tan/olive uniform similar to the one worn by Boy

Scouts. The location of badges and insignia is the same

for both uniforms. With the blue uniform, the trousers,

shorts, and shirt are the same as those described for the

Cub Scout uniform. When the tan/olive uniform is chosen,

official Boy Scout olive trousers or shorts and official Boy

Scout tan long- or short-sleeve shirt with blue shoulder

loops are worn. Official blue socks (with gold tops) are

worn with the blue uniform, and official olive socks (with

red tops) are worn with the tan/olive.

The following parts are worn with both uniforms:
