Just walk in and tell a staff member that you are with Pack 1474 and they will assist you in getting everything you need including the patches. Ask about Badge Magic. While a product called "Badge Magic" is available at the Shop, sewing your patches on insures they can easily be removed or changed out with advancement.
The Cub Scout uniform is an important part of scouting.
- The uniform represents a national youth leadership organization.
- It provides a sense of belonging as well as a place to display awards earned while in the program.
- It enforces equality for all youth and identifies them as part of the PACK or DEN.
- A scout is proud to wear and display the symbols of scouting and to be acknowledged as part of the BSA.
While in Cub Scouts, your son will have the opportunity to wear the NAVY Blue Uniform shirt while earning the TIGER, WOLF, BEAR & WEBELO'S Rank. Upon earning the Webelo's rank the scouts are asked to move into wearing the TAN uniform shirt. The TAN shirt is worn by Webelos as part of the transition into boy scouts. As it is the same shirt worn by the Boy scouts.
Your Scout may be asked to wear the Class B T-shirt on certain field trips and den meetings depending on the location and event.The Cubmaster or Den Leader will let your Scout know when this is a requirement.
Class B (or Scout T-shirt) are shirts mentioned below that are for outings where a full uniform is not required.

"Experienced" Uniforms
Is your scout moving up a rank? Did he outgrow his uniform? Do you have one you do not need anymore?
Pack 1474 is trying to create a uniform bank for "experienced" uniforms that can be worn with pride by another scout. With your help we can offer uniforms to Scouts who may not be able to purchase one at full cost.
Cruising a garage sale, ask if the seller will donate it to the Pack. Check local resale shops and purchase them for the pack. Know a boy who use to be a Scout? Ask them to donate their uniform to the Pack.
We would like to have leader uniforms available as well.
