Uniforms
Cub scouts buy their own uniform shirt, including the Orange County Pacifica council patch, Pack 455 numerals and World Scout Crest. The pack provides the badges and awards after the scout earns them.
Lion (Kindergarten) wear the Lion t-shirt. Tiger (1st graders), Wolf (2nd graders), Bear (3rd graders), and Webelos (4th graders) scouts use the blue Cub Scout uniform, while the Arrow of Light (5th graders) use the tan Boy Scout uniform shirt.

- Uniforms
Can be bought at the scout store. We have a small exchange for used uniforms. Consider giving outgrown uniforms to our exchange. Note: Pack 455 does not require the official pants/shorts - Handbooks
We recommend that parents read the books for their child’s age group and follow the boys progress carefully. Every handbook has a parent guide at the beginning. - Recruiting
If your boy has a friend who is interested in Cub Scouts, bring him to any pack or den meeting. Don’t wait for the next year’s membership drive. Any Cub who gets a friend to join earns a recruiter patch that is worn below the right pocket.
