The Cub Scout Uniform
Scouting uniforms are categorized into two types: the formal “Class A” uniform and the more casual “Class B” uniform.
The Class A is the formal blue or tan uniform worn by Cub Scouts during den or pack meetings, ceremonies, and other formal Scouting events.
The Class B consists of a pack T-shirt and worn during less formal activities, like hiking or service projects.
The pack will provide the Class B T-shirt, all patches and neckerchief and slide. However, the Cub Scout is responsible for purchasing the Class A uniform.
