You may purchase Cub Scout uniforms from any of the scout shops listed below, or on the internet.  Special patches (such as the Council patch) can only be purchased at our local stores or through the local council (CIEC) website.

Note, Pack 421 does not require that you purchase the official cub scout pants or shorts.  For Tigers, Wolves, and Bears, any navy pant or shorts with belt loops are acceptable (and can be purchased much more inexpensively from local retail stores than from scout shops).  For Webelos wearing the tan Boy Scout shirt, any olive/forest pants or shorts with belt loops are acceptable.  Jeans, khaki tan, or camouflage pants are not permitted for formal, "Class A", uniform wear at any rank in our pack.

Special note to Tiger Scout parents:  Pack 421 uses the blue uniform shirt for Tigers, not the orange t-shirt.  This will save you money in the end as your son can wear the same shirt as he advances in rank next year.  Also, we recommend you purchase the Cub Scout belt buckle and neckerchief slide rather than the Tiger belt buckle and Tiger neckerchief slide for the same reason.

New scout advice:  Purchase the short-sleeve blue or tan uniform shirt as big as you can wear it comfortably; this way you can wear it for multiple years.  No need to purchase the short and long sleeve shirt in our climate; you can always wear a sweatshirt or long-sleeve t-shirt under your uniform shirt if necessary.  

Pack 421 leaders wear the official tan uniform shirt and olive/forest pants/shorts.

The Pack 421 Class B uniform shirt (a t-shirt that the boys and leaders wear for outdoor activities when the blue uniform is impractical) is available for purchase at the pack meetings; cost is $10 for adult (more for 2XL and up) and $8 for youth sizes.
