Cub Scout Uniform Guidelines
The Uniform is an important part of the Scouting program as it has been since scouting was first stated. The uniform identifies the scouts and adults with Cub Scouts and gives them a sense of belonging to the den, the pack, and the Boys Scouts of America. The uniform gives a Scout the ability to display their personal achievements. Scouts should wear their uniforms to all den meetings, pack meeting, and special pack activities.
