THE WEBELOS UNIFORM Boys and girls joining Scouting for the first time as Webelos should purchase a tan Scouts BSA Shirt.   Wearing the BSA's official "Field Uniform", also commonly known as a "Class A" uniform, is a way for Cub Scouts to show their pack pride and display awards and ranks they earn. Scouts are encouraged to wear their Class A uniforms to school on Pack Meeting days too. Pack 151 has specific uniform requirements based upon our program. Parents/guardians must purchase the required uniform and attach the emblems, badges and patches. An age-appropriate rank handbook is also required. WEARING the UNIFORM Unless your den or pack leader says otherwise, you should always wear your "Class A" Cub Scout uniform to all Scouting activities—not only den and pack meetings, but every activity in which you take part with other Cub Scouts. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. Everyone should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout of America organization while in uniform. UNIFORM COST and the UNIFORM EXCHANGE The required Cub Scout shirt plus the required accessories and patches that make a "Class A" uniform costs roughly $60. We may 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. The Northern Star Scouting, 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 gently used uniforms (donations) to Scouts that are in need of a Scout uniform. All Scout shirts, pants, shorts, neckerchief, socks, patches, and more are welcome. Contact our Cubmaster or Committee Chair about the Uniform Exchange. PACK 151'S REQUIRED "CLASS A" WEBELOS UNIFORM INCLUDES (use this as your shopping list):
PATCHES YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY Any award, badge, patch, award or adventure loop that your boy earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the monthly pack meetings. You will need to attach them to the uniform, but they are provided. PACK 151'S OPTIONAL CLASS B UNIFORM  When specifically instructed to do so by den and pack leaders, Scouts may wear their Class B's for camp outs or during meetings when leaders have a messy activity 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 your den leader or pack leader to order your Class B's.  Scouts new to Pack 151 must purchase their own rank handbooks. The pack will provide subsequent rank handbooks in the following years. Advancement should be recorded in the handbook and reported to the den leaders and pack leaders via Scoutbook. There is no extra charge for Scoutbook.

PATCHES SEW or STICK ? It's up to you.
The insignia on a Cub Scouts uniform is important to communicate his membership in his den, pack and council and to reflect the awards and ranks that he has earned. The positioning of insignia on the right and left sleeves and the right pocket of the official uniform shirt are the same regardless of the boys rank, or whether he wears the Cub Scout blue shirt or the Boy Scout olive green shirt as a Webelos or Arrow of Light Scout. Those positions are shown below. The left pocket of a Cub Scout uniform is designed to demonstrate his current rank and other personal awards. The illustrations below demonstrate proper insignia placement on the blue Scout uniform shirt for all ranks and Webelos and Arrow of Light placement on both the blue Cub Scout and green Boy Scout uniform shirt.
