Uniform

The uniform is an important part of the Scouting program as it has been since scouting was first started. The uniform identifies the scouts and adults with Cub Scouts and gives them a sense of belonging to the den, the pack, and Scouting America. Scouts should wear their uniforms to all den meetings, pack meetings, and special pack activities.

Wearing uniforms has been a method of the Scouting movement from the beginning. Decades of experience show uniforming to have many benefits, including these:
Equality
The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Children from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals

Identification
The uniform identifies children as a member of the Cub Scouts. Badges on the uniform tell other members that they belong 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 their commitment to the ideals and purposes of Cub Scouting: duty to God, loyalty to country, and helpfulness to others.

​For these reasons, among others, all parents should emphasize to their Scouts the importance of wearing the correct and complete uniform on all suitable occasions.
