Why a uniform? 
The distinctive blue Cub Scout uniform is one of the first things a new Cub Scout wants. Besides being a means to identify openly to the principles that a Cub Scout commits to, the uniform also:
o Encourages neat, correct appearance as well as good behavior.
o Provides the only place for proper display of awards.
o Provides a visual way for boys to "belong" together.
A neat, complete uniform is required for most pack activities and all pack and den meetings. This fosters a sense of pride and belonging in the boys.
The Cub Scout uniform consists of:
- a clean Cub Scout shirt with proper insignia patches; (Required)
- an official Cub Scout neckerchief for his rank with a tie slide; (Required)
- Shorts or long pants without holes, and dark socks; (Optional for Pack 707)
- The Cub Scout hat. (Optional but encouraged)
- an official Cub Scout belt. (Required)
The Cub Scout brag vest (red felt) is optional.
Uniforms can be purchased new from the BSA scout store in Lexington or bought used from goodwill or e-bay.
