Cub Scout Pack 421

[ Home ] [ About Cub Scouts ] [ Dens ] [ Leaders ] [ Calendar ] [ Events ] [ Costs ] [ Uniforms ] [ Contact Us ]

You may purchase Cub Scout field 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 navy 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, green Boy Scout pants/shorts should be purchased at the Scout Shop.  Jeans, khaki tan, or camouflage pants are not permitted for formal field uniform (also known as "Class A") 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 field 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.  

For consistency among all leaders, Pack 421's leaders (male and female) wear the official tan Boy Scout uniform shirt and green Boy Scout pants/shorts.  Female leaders should not purchase the yellow Cub Scout leader blouse/blue pants.

The Pack 421 activity shirt (also known as a "Class B t-shirt"), which the boys and leaders wear for outdoor activities when the field uniform is impractical, is included in the New Scout fee when a scout first joins the pack.  The "Class B" activity t-shirt may also be worn by a scout's family members and may be purchased at pack meetings; check for current pricing.  "Class A" field uniform wear is restricted to scouts and BSA-registered adult leaders.
