The uniform is an important part of the Scouting program, especially for the youngest boys just starting their boy scout trail. It identifies the boys and adults with Tiger Cubs and gives them a sense of belonging to the den, the pack, and the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts enjoy wearing their Tiger Cub uniform. They should wear it to all den meetings, pack meetings, and special pack activities.

The current uniform for the Tiger Cub, introduced in August 2004, is the official blue Cub Scout shirt with blue/orange neckerchief and neckerchief slide. This replaces the Tiger Cub orange T-shirt with the Tiger Cub emblem on the front. The official Tiger Cub cap and blue web belt with a Tiger Cub buckle are optional. There are also blue socks with orange band to complete the uniform. Adult partners don't have to wear a uniform, but it is highly recommended that they wear a Tiger Cub orange T- shirt or sweatshirt.

The Tiger Cub den leader wears the official Cub Scout leader uniform, the Tiger Cub cap, and the Tiger Cub leader neckerchief.

These uniforms are a significant cost for many scouting families. Some possible ways to reduce costs are:
• Have your scout earn his uniform or part of it.(it might last longer, too)
• Purchase only minimum required items in your pack.
• Buy used uniforms on eBay.com or local clothes store.
• Check with your pack or district about a Uniform Exchange where you can pick up or drop off uniforms.

Placement of insignia on the uniform is important. The Uniform Inspection Sheet has insignia placement guides. There is also a Male Leader Uniform Inspection Sheet and a Female Leader Uniform Inspection Sheet.
