Wolf Cub Scout Uniform

The uniform is an important part of the Scouting program as it has been since scouting was first started. The uniform identifies the boys and adults with Cub Scouts and gives them a sense of belonging to the den, the pack, and the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts should wear their uniforms to all den meetings, pack meetings, and special pack activities.

The uniform for the Wolf Cub Scout is the official blue Cub Scout shirt, Wolf neckerchief, and slide. The official Wolf cap and blue web belt with a Cub Scout buckle are optional.

Tip: Purchase a short-sleeved rather than long-sleeved shirt for your wolf scout. The short-sleeved shirts are less expensive, cooler in active play, and will not be outgrown as fast as long-sleeved. One short-sleeved shirt should last for the 2.5 to 3 years he'll need it.

The uniform shown here is the Field Uniform. The Activity Uniform is a custom T-Shirt and scout pants. These two uniforms are often called Class A and Class B uniforms.

Packs design their own Class B shirt. The best place for Pack t-shirts is the ClassB.com web site. ClassB.com is an official licensee of the Boy Scouts of America with a solid reputation of service and quality products since 1982.

The Wolf den leader wears the official Cub Scout leader uniform, Wolf neckerchief, and slide.

The Uniform Inspection Sheet has insignia placement guides. There is also a Male & Female Leader Uniform Inspection Sheet.

These uniforms are a significant cost for many scouting families. Some possible ways to reduce costs are:

Have your scout earn his uniform or part of it.(it might last longer, too)
Purchase only minimum required items in your pack.
Buy used uniforms on eBay.com or local clothes store.
Check with your pack or district about a Uniform Exchange where you can pick up or drop off uniforms.
