Scout uniforms are an important part of the Boy Scouts of America program. Each boy gets to be part of a group demonstrated by their uniform and each group has a personal sense of identity. The scout uniform is also a display case for a scout's individual accomplishments and recognitions. We wear the uniform to associate ourselves with the principles to which we are committed - character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness. The uniform is not intended to hide our individuality, but it is a way we give each other strength and support.

Each unit decides how much of the boy scout uniform to require of the boys. Some go all out from socks to hat while others stick with just the shirt. Whatever you decide for your scouts, having all of them consistently uniformed for meetings and outings make for a much better adventure.

These pages list the parts of the uniforms for cub scout and boy scout groups. We've also listed approximate costs. Placement of badges, pins, and patches are explained since this is one of the areas where uniforms are implemented incorrectly.

Many men still have their cub scout or boy scout uniform stored away someplace. Every badge, patch, and pin has some memory of a fun time had with other boys. There is a great deal of pride in displaying awards and achievements earned where other boys can see them. Keeping a scout uniform clean and up to date makes the scouting experience more fun.

The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform in cub scouts and boy scouts, we stand together and encourage each other to live by those principles. Boys and adults alike should take pride in belonging to this program and wear the uniform correctly.
