Cub Scout uniform policy

Why do Cub Scouts and Adult Leaders Wear a Uniform?

Uniforms set a standard to be met, promote group spirit and designate equality from the start among members within the group. The Scout uniform is an important part of Scouting. It signifies who we are as an organization and what each of our roles are within the Pack. A group of Scouts in uniform is perceived and treated differently than a group of non-uniformed youth is at public events. For this reason, the Pack requires that each boy have a full uniform and wear it correctly.

How is the Wearing of the Uniform Rewarded?

Pack 520 rewards proper uniform dress through its Scout Bucks Program. A Scout Buck should be awarded by Adult Leaders for Scouts that are in appropriate uniform at any Scouting function, whether it be a Den meeting, Pack meeting or other activity.

What is Considered the Appropriate Uniform?

The appropriate uniform for a Cub Scout varies based on the function or event. For Pack meetings and activities, the Cubmaster will direct the appropriate uniform. For Den meetings and activities, the Den Leader will direct the appropriate uniform. Pack 520 has two uniform types: (1) Class A, or Dress (the most formal); (2) Class B, or Activity
