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

The uniform for the Bear Cub Scout is the official blue Cub Scout shirt, Bear neckerchief, and slide. The official Bear cap and blue web belt with a Cub Scout buckle are optional.

Tip: Purchase a short-sleeved rather than long-sleeved shirt for your Bear scout. The short-sleeved shirts are less expensive, cooler in active play, and will not be outgrown as fast as long-sleeved. One short-sleeved shirt should last for the 2.5 to 3 years he'll need it.

The uniform shown here is the Field Uniform. The Activity Uniform is a custom T-Shirt and scout pants, often called a Class B uniform.

Packs design their own Activity shirt. The best place for Pack t-shirts is the ClassB.com web site. ClassB.com is an official licensee of the Boy Scouts of America with a solid reputation of service and quality products since 1982.
