Wearing uniforms has been a method of the Scouting movement from the beginning. Decades of experience show “uniforming” to have many benefits, including:

·       Equality:  The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Children from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.

·       Identification:  The uniform identifies a child as a member of the Cub Scouts. Badges on the uniform tell other members that they belong to their den, pack, and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.

·       Achievement:  The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.

·       Commitment:  Wearing a uniform is a constant reminder to each Cub Scout of their commitment to the ideals and purposes of Cub Scouting: Duty to God, Loyalty to Country, and Helpfulness to others.

For these reasons, among others, all parents should emphasize to their Scouts the importance of wearing the correct and complete uniform on all suitable occasions.  

Normally, the Class A uniform will be worn for most functions. Pack 923 is considered to be a "waist-up" pack in that we do not require official scout pants or shorts to be worn (although they may). We only ask that the scout is appropriately dressed in the correct uniform top.

The uniform, however, will never be a deterrent to a child participating in Scouting. That is Pack policy!! 

FINANCIAL ISSUES WILL NEVER BE A DETERRENT TO A SCOUT IN OUR PROGRAM!! We have several methods for a scout to earn their way. Just ask a den leader how.

Uniforms can be purchased at the Blue Mountain Council's retail store or online at Scoutshop.org.
