An important part of Scouting is the uniform.  Unless instructed otherwise, a Scout should wear one of 2 uniforms to every Den Meeting, Pack Meeting, and other Scout outings and events.  The first of these is the Field Uniform (Often referred to as the Class A).  This is the formal uniform in blue or tan, depending on rank.  The second is the Activity Uniform (AKA Class B) - SEE BELOW.  This is a yellow t-shirt often worn for "messy" events or on certain excursions.  Unless instructed, the Field Uniform, or Class A, should be the default unform worn.

Please wear your Field Uniform shirt (no neckerchief, slide or hat) to school on Den and Pack Meeting days to show off your Cub Scout pride.  You can wear your Activity Uniform t-shirt on any day.  Just remember, when you wear the uniforms, you represent the Pack, the Cub Scouts, and the Boy Scouts of America.  You should always be a good Scout, but especially while in your uniform.

Insignia worn on the uniform is restricted.  Required patches include the American Flag (on shirt at purchase), Council Patch (Current patch is light blue with the Jefferson Memorial on it.  Other allowable Council patches can be purchased at parent expense at http://www.ncacbsa.org/store/ListProducts.aspx?catid=240634 .), Pack 1180 (Red with white numbers.  Boy Scouts wear tan with green numbers), Den Number or Den "Patrol" Patch, and Purple World Scouting patch.  These patches will be supplied by the pack.  Other allowable items include Outdoor Activity patch, Quality Unit Award, Recruiter patch, rank badges, Webelos Colors (Hanging Ribbons for Webelos Pins), and anything allowed in the BSA insignia guide.  One temporary patch can be worn on right pocket.  Other patches should be placed on red brag vest (SEE BELOW).  Patch location can be seen below and under the covers of the Scout Handbooks.

Cub Scout caps are encouraged, but purchase is not a rush, due to economy.  No pins should be worn in the caps.

Each Scout will receive one yellow Activity Uniform t-shirt at the time of his initial registration.  This is part of the initial registration kit and is included in the cost.  This shirt is intended to be worn when the planned activity may be messy, or could damage the nicer Field Uniform.  This should only be worn when the Den Leader or Cubmaster (such as at a Pack Meeting) instruct that it should be worn.  Otherwise, the blue or tan Field Uniform should be worn. 

If other shirts are needed as he gets older, and grows bigger, then additional shirts can be purchased.

Parents are also encouraged to wear these shirts for showing loyalty to the Pack, and for easy recognition on outings.

For Scout events, the Scouts MUST wear the yellow; however, other colors are available for purchase for personal wear.  Parental colors include just about every color in the rainbow.

This is an optional accessory.

Pack 1180 often awards Scouts with activity patches for events that they participate in.  These CANNOT go on the Field Uniform.  Instead, these go on the Red Bragging Vest.  This may be purchased through BSA or made.  All "other" patches, medals, and Beltloop pins go on this vest.  A Varsity "C" Letter can also be placed on the vest to signify participation in the Sports and Academics program (Beltloops).  The vest is worn on top of the Field Uniform.

If not available at the local Scout Shops, then it can be ordered at http://www.scoutstuff.org/youth-patch-vest.html.
