Welcome Pack 3 Parents

Here you will find all things scouting for the parents. Below are forms, paperwork, links and other helpful websites to help you, as a new and current Cub Scout parent, succeed in Pack 3.

Scouting takes a lot of work, from the parents, to the Pack Leaders and Chairs, to the very Scouts themselves. This Pack 3 website was created to help current and new parents enjoy the "Scouting Experience" with our Pack; however, the parent has to make use of all the extensive information here on this website.

Den Leaders and other Pack Leaders do not have personal time to contact parents by phone; therefore, Pack Leaders make good use of mass emails to communicate to parents about Pack events, activities and other important information. Please make time to fully read Pack's emails, so your family can enjoy the "Scouting Experience" with our Pack.

If you need any help that you can't find in this website then please contact us by clicking on the "Contact our Pack" link at the top center of this page. Please email our Pack Webmaster by using the "Contact our Pack" link at the top center of this page if you find any broken links or if you can't down load any documents.

Your Scout's Uniform

Fundraising ... How can you say no?
Tiger Cub

Wolf Cub

Bear Cub

Webelos Scout

The BSA uniform is a source of pride and improves the sense of purpose and self esteem. Uniforms also help our Den Leaders maintain greater order during meetings and camping trips. Studies have shown that boys in uniform behave better than those not wearing uniforms (Source: Scouting News). Your Scout is required to wear BSA Class "A" scouting uniforms during most of Pack 3's events. At some of our events, your Scout can wear Pack 3's Activity tee-shirt in place of the BSA's official Dress (Class "A") shirt. Click on the Event Calender link on the left side menu to see all the annual events and what uniforms to wear for which events. Your Den Leader can also let you know which Class shirt to wear at which events.

Required uniform pieces for Pack 3:

Official BSA Shirt for current rank. Webelos can wear blue or tan shirts.
Official BSA Neckerchief for current rank
Official BSA Neckerchief Slide for current rank
Official BSA Rank(s) Patch(es)
Official BSA Belt for current rank
Dark Blue Jeans or Denim Shorts in good condition

Optional uniform pieces for Pack 3:

Official BSA Cap for current rank
Official BSA Shorts or Pants for current rank
Official BSA Socks
Pack 3's Field(Class "B") tee-shirt

Click on to see Five Rivers Arnot Mall Scout Shop location and for the online ScoutStuff Online Store to purchase the above uniform pieces and patches online if you want also. You will need to inform the Scout Store sales person of your Scout's current rank, Pack number and Den number to get the correct uniform patches. Your Scout's rank, Pack number and Den number information will be provided to you. Please contact your Den Leader if you are unsure what uniform pieces and patches to purchase at the Scout Store.

New Scout(s) joining Pack 3 for the first time will need to purchase their own BSA Official Handbook for their current rank. Your Scout(s) will be given his next rank Official BSA Handbook each year as long as your Scout(s) achieves his rank by doing all the necessary achievements required to move onto his next rank, is an active scout and participates in the popcorn fundraiser.

The Cub Scouts of America's colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning, which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer and happiness.

Patch, beads and pin placement on your Scout's uniform can be quite confusing. Use the PDF attachements in this attachment area of this webpage and the offical BSA links below to properly place them in the correct spots on your son's uniform.
