Getting a Uniform

Please go to the Scout Shop located at 8605 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75235 (check shop hours online or call). The Scout Shop will get your Scout set up with his uniform (blue shirt, hat, scarf and scarf tie, and Belt) and also put the necessary patches on the shirt for you if you tell them the Scout is in Pack 84.  The at, scarf and scarf tie are based upon your child's rank or grade level.  The blue scout pants are optional for our Pack.  Jeans are fine.  You will also want to buy the handbook for Cub Scouts that matches the grade that child is in.

Alternatively, if you know what you need, you can purchase uniform items online at https://www.scoutshop.org/ 

Adult leaders will need a Tan Shirt, again with the necessary patches. 

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, a pack may opt to have the Cub Scouts wear an alternate uniform, such as an activity shirt. These are sometimes referred to as Class B Uniforms.   Pack 84 does not have an activity shirt.  Just have your child any appropriate clothing that you don't mind getting dirty.

Wearing the Uniform

In general, every Cub Scout should wear his uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack. 

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, a pack may opt to have the Cub Scouts wear an alternate uniform, such as an activity shirt. These are sometimes referred to as Class B Uniforms.  

Pack leaders should provide advance notice of any occasion when the boys should wear anything other than the complete uniform.

Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:

• • DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.

  • DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a uniform with parts missing is not in uniform.

  • DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.

  • DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing or wearing the uniform shirt with blue jeans. The uniform should be treated as a unit—worn in its entirety, or not at all.

Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
