  • Neckerchief—Triangular neckerchief is orange with navy-blue trim for Tiger Cubs, gold with navy-blue trim for Wolf Cub Scouts, light blue with navy-blue trim for Bear Cub Scouts, and plaid for Webelos Scouts. Official BSA neckerchiefs are the only neckerchiefs boys should wear. Packs should not make their own pack neckerchiefs for boys.
  • Neckerchief slide—Official gold-tone metal slide with the Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, or Webelos logo. Boys may wear handmade neckerchief slides.
  Webelos Scouts  
 
  • Shirt: Webelos Scouts may choose to wear either the blue Webelos uniform based on the Cub Scout uniform or the tan/olive uniform similar to the one Boy Scouts wear with blue shoulder loops.
  • Other: With either uniform, all Webelos Scouts wear the Webelos neckerchief (plaid with the Webelos emblem), Webelos neckerchief slide (handmade slides are also acceptable), Webelos cap, and Webelos belt buckle. Note that the Webelos belt buckle will fit either the blue or the olive belt, but the belt loop recognitions for the Cub Scout Academics and Sports program fit only on the blue web belt.
 

Wearing the Uniform

  • In general, wear 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, the Cub Scouts may wear the "Class B" Pack T-shirt.
  • Check with your Den Leader if in doubt.

Obtaining a Uniform

  • The official Cub Scout uniform is available at the Scout Shop at Balboa Park map
  • Or can be ordered directly from www.scoutstuff.org
 

Badges and Insignia

 
  • When a boy first joins Cub Scouting, his uniform will display only those badges that identify his status: the World Crest, which shows him to be a member of the worldwide Scouting movement; the national flag; his council strip; his pack number; and his den number.
  • As he progresses, the Cub Scout will earn badges, pins, medals, and other insignia that tell of his accomplishments in Scouting. These items should be added to the uniform only after they have been earned.
  • For guidance on the proper placement of all badges and insignia, check your Cub Scout book, see the BSA's online Insignia Guide or download the BSA uniform inspection sheet.
   
 
Note: Only five medals may be worn at a time, pinned in a single row immediately above the seam of the left pocket.
