Welcome to the Pack

Category: Cub Scouts
   General Rule: We want the Cubs in uniform at meetings and outings, but if you can’t manage it for a meeting (laundry, coming from soccer practice, etc) it’s OK. DO YOUR BEST!

WHERE TO GET UNIFORMS:

  • We have a hand me down box - please turn in pieces that your Cub outgrows (or last year’s neckerchief, if you do not want to keep).
  • Scout Shop in Atlanta Area Council office - 1800 Circle 75 Pkwy, 30339 (across from Braves’ ballpark).
  • Online at https://www.scoutshop.org/
  • Pack 268 shirts are available on Amazon

UNIFORM COMPONENTS:

  1. Cub Scout Uniform Shirt - wear for pack meetings; optional for den meetings

Buying Tips:

    • Buy big - they will grow into it!
    • Only buy a short sleeve uniform shirt; in cold weather, they can wear a long sleeve t-shirt underneath.
    • Lions are not required to wear blue uniform shirts - if they want to wear one, they can.
  1. Neckerchiefs are color coded by year
    • Lions = Yellow
    • Tigers = Orange
    • Wolves = Red (used to be Yellow; old Yellow Wolves ones are OK)
    • Bears = Blue
    • Webelos/AOL = Plaid
   Neckerchief slides are helpful, but frequently lost. One tip is to tie a knot underneath the slide.
  1. Cub Scout Hats are color coded by age; optional for meetings, but a good idea for outdoor activity.
  2. Cub Scout belts - get one - it’s not just for holding up pants! Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears receive belt loops for completing adventures

  3. Webelos color ribbons - pinned to uniform shirt sleeve. Webelo adventure pins go here.

  4. Activity “Class B” t-shirt - worn at den meetings. Lots of special Cub & Scout designs available; non-Cub shirts are OK.

Two special ones:

We do not require Cub uniform pants/shorts for meetings - jeans or other pants/shorts are OK. Cub Scout socks are not required (but wearing socks is a very good idea for hikes)

Shoes: No flip flops or Crocs at the Hut - sticks and stones can hurt! Closed toed shoes, minimally with an ankle strap. Sneakers are always good!

Dens

When joining Cub Scouts, you become part of a group of scouts in the same grade and who are the same gender, this small group is called a den.  Each grade level has an animal or emblem associated with it, this is called a rank.

Lion

Kindergarten
(5-6 Year Olds)

Tiger

First Grade
(6-7 Year Olds)

Wolf

Second Grade
(7-8 Year Olds)

Bear

Third Grade
(8-9 Year Olds)

WEBELOS
There are two dens for the WEBELOS. The second den is specific for the older scouts as they start to transition to Scouts BSA and work on their Arrow of Light Award. This is the only award from Cub Scouts that can be worn as a Scout or an adult in Scouts BSA.

WEBELOS

Fourth Grade
(9-10 Year Olds)

WEBELOS

Arrow of Light (AOL)
Fifth Grade
(10-11 Year Olds)

Cub Scouts work in their dens and at home on activities that are in their handbooks.  These activities are grouped together by subject and are called adventures.  After a number of required adventures and elective adventures are completed, a Cub Scout earns the rank associated with their grade.
