Wolf Uniform

The Wolf Uniform

Note:

Wolf and Bear uniforms are the same except for the hat and the Neckerchief.

Required:

Shirt (Long or Short Sleeve)
Belt
Hat
Neckerchief
Slide

The shirt will last through third Grade - so size it appropriately. Short sleeved shirts are recommended since the sleeves will still "fit" when too big.

The Belt is used to hold the Adventure Belt Loops as they are earned.

The neckerchief and cap are transitioning from the yellow shown to red.

Optional:

Pants or Shorts / Skorts
Socks (can use next year)

Each Year:

New Hat
New Neckerchief
New Slide

The Uniform Code:

Your son or daughter should be encouraged to wear their uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. They should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform.

Time to Sew?

The inside of the handbook covers shows the proper location for all patches.

TIP: Badge Magic double stick adhesive is much faster & easier than needle & thread. Its available at the Scout Shop or on-line.

Flag will come with shirt
Den Number (Optional)

To get an idea of pricing, or to order items online, visit http://www.scoutshop.org. This is the official online scout shop. They should have the same prices as our local scout shop. Note that purchases made at our local scout shop will help support our Council, while on-line purchases do not.

Patches You don't need to Buy:

Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your son or daughter earns will be awarded during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew them on, but they are provided.

Wearing the Uniform

In general, every Cub Scout should wear his or her uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack.

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, a pack may opt to have the Cub Scouts wear an alternate uniform, such as an activity shirt. These are sometimes referred to as Class B Uniforms.

Pack leaders should provide advance notice of any occasion when the youth should wear anything other than the complete uniform.

Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:

DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a uniform with parts missing is not in uniform.
DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing. With the exception of the neckerchief, the uniform should be treated as a unit—worn in its entirety, or not at all.
YOU MAY wear the neckerchief alone with other clothing.

Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
