The Wolf 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 Wolf uniform includes:
Optional:
Where to purchase items Uniform, patches, belts and other Scouting items may be purchased in store or online.
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. Class B uniform: Class B uniforms are special t-shirts that Pack 151 orders with a custom design. Class B t-shirts do not replace a regular Class A uniform (there's no place to display a boy's hard earned rank patches) but they do come in handy for certain occasions. Pack or dens leaders may ask their scouts to wear a Class B uniform for camp outs or during meetings when leaders have a messy craft prepared. They're great for times when we want the boys to look like Scouts, but are afraid that they'll loose or damage their uniforms with rough play and adventure. Contact pack leaders for more info on obtaining a Class B t-shirt.  Class B uniform t-shirt 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.

Earning it Patches earned at the Pinewood Derby, Fall Festival, Monster Jam, Polar Cubs, Rodeo, Cub Scout camp, etc. are examples of temporary patches. Wearing it These "fun" patches are worn, ONE at a time (see exceptions below) centered on the RIGHT pocket of the official Cub Scout or Boy Scout Class A field uniform; or suspended from the right pocket button of the field uniform.

  Temporary patches Progress Towards Rank emblem and beads Purpose This emblem and its beads provide immediate recognition to encourage rank achievement. Earning it Completion of the first three Wolf Achievements earns the emblem and one yellow bead. A new bead is awarded for each three achievements. When four yellow beads are earned, the Scout becomes eligible to receive his Wolf badge. Yellow beads are for Wolf; red beads for Bear. Wearing it This emblem is worn in on the right pocket of the uniform, hung from the button. It's worn instead of a temporary patch (like one earned at camp, or outings). Cub Scouts may continue to wear this emblem after ranks are earned until they become Webelos Scouts.

A Gold Arrow Point is earned by completing the first ten projects in the Wolf or Bear book. Only one gold arrow point may be earned during the Wolf year, and one during the Bear year.
