Provided by the Pack:
The Uniform Code: Your son should/will be encouraged to wear his uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. He should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform. In addition to the purchasing of a uniform, there will be many patches that need to be sewn on your son's shirt. Please pay close attention as to where on the uniform these need to be placed. The image above will help with the placement of emblems and patches. (Some people opt to purchase a product like Badge Magic that allows you to iron on patches) It is important that when your son receives a badge that is to be part of his uniform, you affix it to his shirt as soon as possible. He earned it, and he deserves to have it displayed. Thank you. Patches You don't need to Buy: Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your boy earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew them on, but they are provided. Where to Purchase Items: Uniforms, patches and accessories are available at the Scout Shop located at 1800 Circle 75 Parkway, SE Atlanta, Ga 30339. Their phone number is 770-988-9912, and they will be happy to assist you. Additionally, scouting gear can be ordered online at www.scoutstuff.org but if this is your first venture in to Cub Scouts we would recommend a visit to the Scout Store where you can get assistance with all your needs. Also, the Pack might have some ‘experienced’ uniforms for sale. Please see the pack Secretary for details.Wearing the Uniform In general, every Cub Scout should wear his uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit 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. These are sometimes refered to as Class B Uniforms. 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:
