WHY WEAR A UNIFORM
Wearing uniforms has been a method of the Scouting movement from the beginning. Decades of experience show wearing a uniform has many benefits including:
· Equality. The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Boys from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.
· Identification. The uniform identifies a boy as a member of the Cub Scouts. Badges on the uniform tell other members that he belongs to their den, pack, and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.
· Achievement. The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
· Commitment. Wearing a uniform is a constant reminder to each Cub Scout of his commitment to the ideals and purposes of Cub Scouting: duty to God, loyalty to country, and helpfulness to others.
