The Boy Scouts of America has always been a uniformed body. The uniform is a means for members to identify themselves openly with the principles to which the program is committed -- character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness. The uniform is the only place for a boy to properly display his badges and wards.
All boys in Pack 876 are expected to wear a uniform to Pack and Den meetings and functions. At a minimum, the uniform is considered to consist of an official Cub Scout hat, neckerchief, neckerchief slide, shirt, and belt. Official Cub Scout trousers, short pants, socks, and patch vests are optional. Homemade neckerchief slides may also be worn.
Many of the uniform components change as the boys advance from one rank to the next. This page provides guidance on the differences between Cub Scout ranks as well as patch placement. Refer to the Cub Scout Program Overview page of this site for more information on the various ranks.
The tiger uniform is under revision (as of the second half of 2001). As a result allowance may have to be made due to availability of some of the uniform items.
There is no neckerchief or slide for Tiger program. The uniform shirt is an orange t-shirt with white trim and a Tiger logo. The hat has been changed from from orange and white to blue and orange. A belt has been added to the uniform as part of the changes.
Wolf scouts wear the blue Cub Scout uniform shirt and blue and yellow Cub Scout hat. The neckerchief is yellow with blue trim. A blue belt and a buckle with the Cub Scout logo are also part of the uniform. Blue uniform pants are and socks are optional.
Bear scouts wear the blue Cub Scout uniform shirt and blue and yellow Cub Scout hat. The neckerchief is light blue with dark blue trim. A blue belt and a buckle with the Cub Scout logo are also part of the uniform. Blue uniform pants are and socks are optional.
Webelos are transitioning from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and have the option of wearing either the blue Cub Scout shirt or the tan Boy Scout shirt. If the tan shirt is worn, blue shoulder loops are worn on the epaulets. Webelos also have a different hat, neckerchief, neckerchief slide and belt buckle all with the Webelos insignia.
