Cub Scout advancement begins with the Bobcat Badge. This is then followed by the age appropriate advancement. First graders work towards their Tiger Cub Badge. Second graders are on the Wolf trail. Third grade Cubs work towards the Bear badge.
Fourth and Fifth grade boys are working towards their Webelos badge, and ultimately, they may earn the Arrow of Light, Cub Scouting’s highest award.

What is the uniform?
The Class A uniform is the official dress uniform of all scouts is worn to most meetings.  Uniforms vary depending on grade level:

• Lions (kindergarten):  Lion T-shirt and Blue Scout Belt

• also known as the field uniform. It consists of the official Cub Scout blue, button-down shirt, neckerchief and slide appropriate to the rank of the scout and the official Cub Scout belt. Webelos have the option of wearing the official Boy Scout tan, button-down shirt. We are a “belt-up” pack so official Cub Scout pants and socks are optional. 

• The Class B uniform is our official pack t-shirt.

​

When do you wear your uniform?
Class A uniforms should be worn to all pack meetings and den meetings. Uniforms should be worn to school on days when you will be having a pack or den meeting. Class A uniforms should also be worn when representing Pack 473 or Cub Scouts. You should also wear it when traveling to or from any Cub Scout event.

Class B uniforms should be worn when the chance of getting your Class A uniform dirty is highly likely, like while camping.

 

Where do I buy the uniform?
Class A uniforms can be purchased at the Scout Shop or online at ScoutStuff.org
