Tiger Cub, Wolf, and Bear Cub Scouts
The Cub Scout uniform consists of the following parts:
- Shirt—The
official uniform shirt is available with long or short sleeves and has
button-flap pockets and "Boy Scouts of America" lettered in gold above
the right pocket.
- Belt—Official navy-blue web belt with metal buckle and Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, or Webelos Scout emblem.
- Cap—Official
navy-blue cap with orange front panel and tiger cub emblem for Tiger
Cubs, yellow panel and wolf emblem for Wolf Cub Scouts, blue panel and
bear emblem for Bear Cub Scouts. Webelos Scouts wear an olive cap with a
plain panel bearing the Webelos logo.

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.
Webelos Scouts
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.
For
the tan/olive uniform, boys wear the official Boy Scout olive trousers
or shorts and official Boy Scout tan long- or short-sleeved shirt with
blue shoulder loops. Official blue socks (with gold tops) are worn with
the blue uniform, and official olive socks (with red tops) are worn with
the tan/olive uniform.
Webelos Scouts wear tan long- or short-sleeved shirt with blue shoudler loops with the Webelos neckerchief (plaid
with the Webelos emblem), Webelos neckerchief slide, 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.
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, see the BSA's Uniform and Insignia Guide (No. 33066, available at your local council service center) or download the uniform inspection sheet from the forms page.
Wearing the Uniform
In
general, every Cub Scout should wear his uniform to all Cub Scouting
activities, including den and pack meetings, outings, and any
activities done with members of the den or pack. When playing sports,
going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, a pack may
opt to have the Cub Scouts wear an alternate uniform, such as an
activity shirt. Pack leaders should provide advance notice of any
occasion when the boys should wear anything other than the complete
uniform.
Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:
- DO keep
the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy,
machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
- DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. At this time, blue uniform shorts are optional.
- DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
