The Class A uniform (also called the Field Uniform) is the uniform you expect to see a Cub Scout dressed in. It consists of the blue or khaki (for Scouts in fourth and fifth grade) button-down shirt, a neckerchief, rank-appropriate slide, and patches identifying our Council and Pack. The Class A uniform also includes optional pieces like a hat, belt, and pants.
Wearing the Uniform
The uniform is one of the methods of delivering the Scouting program. In addition to creating a sense of belonging, the uniform gives a Scout the ability to display their personal achievements.
Scouts should wear their uniform shirts with the official uniform pants or a nice pair of matching pants. Please make sure your Scout is presentable and has their shirt tucked in.
