The Lion Uniform Cub Scout uniforms are a way for Scouts to show their pack pride and display awards and ranks they earn. Pack 151 has specific uniform requirements based upon our program. Parents/Guardians must purchase the required uniform and attach the emblems, badges and patches. The required Class A uniform costs roughly $60. We have a limited number of free uniforms (youth and adult) available from our Uniform Exchange for those who are not in the financial position to pay for a new uniform. Pack 151's Scouts are encouraged to wear their Class A uniforms to school on Pack Meeting days. Required Class A Lion uniform:

Patches you don't need to Buy Any badge or patch that your boy earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to attach them to the uniform on, but they are provided. The Uniform Code: Your son should/will be encouraged to wear his uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. He should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform. It's up to you.
Uniform Exchange: The Northern Star Council, Boy Scouts of America's Uniform Exchange program is where Scouts and Scout Leaders can get experienced (used) Scout uniforms for a nominal cost. It's also a great way to pass on your uniforms (donations) to Scouts that are in need of a Scout uniform. All Scout shirts, pants, shorts, neckerchief, socks, patches, and more are welcome. More information about the Uniform Exchange is available at the Northern Star Council's website.
