Uniforms can be purchased from Johnson's True Value in Groton or online at scoutstuff.org
Another option is the scout store in Warwick, RI
Class A Uniforms--Worn to pack meetings and other meetings/activities as required
Each Den has a different uniform that corresponds to that level rank in Cub Scouts. See images below. Talk to your Den Leader for what is specifically required for your Den. (Most of our Dens don't require the pants/shorts/socks. Hats may or may not be required. Belt necessary if your boy earns belt loops)
Class B Uniform--less formal tee shirt that still identifies you as part of the Pack
These are available from the Pack and are usually worn at Den meetings and other outings as specified by your Den Leader
What do I do with those extra patches???
A cub scout can wear one "temporary insignia patch" on his right pocket. This has to be an official BSA patch. These are usually a Council or District ran event patch. Other patches such as those earned by selling Popcorn via Trails End or Scout night patches are non BSA and should not be worn on the uniform. So what do you do with all those patches? Here are some ideas:
Official Red Scout Vest aka Brag Vest
All other patches are to be sewn onto a red patch vest or blanket. This includes all Camporee, Day Camp, sporting events, derbies, pack outing, hiking, council sponsored event patches. The Varsity “C” letter can also be placed on the vest – academic and sports pins can be placed or pinned. Medals from derbies can also be pinned to the vest.
The Red Scout Vest can be bought at Johnson's True Value in Groton where the other uniform parts can be bought and is under &10.
Official BSA Red Patch Blanket aka Memory Blanket
Same as a vest, only this serves and added purpose when your scout goes to resident camp or becomes a boy scout and starts camping on his own. He will have the warmth of a blanket and the memories of scouting's past. You can purchase a BSA scout blank from your local or online scout store or you can create your own. The BSA Red Patch Blanket runs just under $21 (patches not included).
Official Cub Scout Scrapbook
Your local or online scout store sells various varieties of scout scrapbooks and papers to get you started. Another alternative is to purchase a 3 ring binder. We suggest a clear view binder so you can personalize the front and spine of the scrapbook. The possibilities are endless with this idea. You can make yours as unique as you want. Add patches, pictures, ticket stubs from sporting events venues. Just be sure to get a binder big enough to hold all those patches! No two scrapbooks will be the same. The Cub Scout Scrapbook pictured runs just under $30 and specialty papers run .49 cents.
