Cub Scouts have different uniforms depending on what rank they are in. At Pack 996, we ask that all scouts wear their Class A uniforms to Pack & Den meetings unless otherwise stated. We would LOVE if scouts come to the first pack meeting with their uniforms, but if you can’t get it by then, DON’T STRESS.

This is a great page which explains what each scout should have as part of their uniform with a few clarifications:

https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/cub-scout-uniform/

Clarifications:

• Scouts do no need scout pants or shorts (unless you want to buy them)
• Lion Scouts (TK & KG) only need to get the T-shirt and hat (no button down shirt, neckerchief or slide), but you are welcome to buy the full Class A uniform if you like.

All scout ranks up to and including 3rd grade (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, & Bear) wear blue uniforms. 4th & 5th graders (Webelos I & II) wear brown uniforms which they can continue using in Scouts BSA if they continue with scouting in 6th grade

For Scouts in 1st grade and beyond, they will have various patches, including Council, Pack number, and rank. Find out more about patch placement here:

Where to buy:

• Scout Shop in Pleasant Hill:
  508 Contra Costa Blvd K2, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
• McCaulou’s Department Store in Danville: (they have a Scout Supplies desk)
  589 San Ramon Valley Blvd, Danville, CA 94526

McCaulou’s typically has everything you will need, so try there first since it’s closer to home.

What to buy:

• Class A shirt (button down). Blue for 1st-3rd grade. Brown for 4th-5th grade. TK/KG only needs a t-shirt
• Golden Gate Area Council Patch (This is already on shirts if you buy from the Scout Shop)
• Pack Numbers (996)
• Den Number (your den assignments will be announced soon)
• Hat, Neckerchief, and slide for your rank
  • TK/KG: Lion (Neckerchief and slide are only needed if you choose to buy the button down shirt)
  • 1st: Tiger
  • 2nd: Wolf
  • 3rd: Bear
  • 4th/5th: Webelos
• Scout Handbook for your rank
• OPTIONAL, but recommended:
  • Belt. Scouts will be awarded belt loops for adventures that they complete and the scout belt fits them perfectly
  • Badge Magic stickers so you don’t need to sew patches. 1 sheet is more than enough per scout:

Pack 996 also had a Class B uniform (a custom t-shirt). We will provide the ordering link for that soon. It’s the same shirt as last year.
