Uniform Information and Update

I inquired about uniforms to get some additional clarification. I also have visited the Scout Shop. The clerks at the Scout Shop are very helpful but will fill up your basket quickly with everything. There were also a lot of cool things that I wanted to add to my basket.

Here is what you will need:

• Scout Shirt (long or short sleeve)
• Tiger Scout web belt and buckle
• Tiger Scout Neckerchief
• Tiger Scout Neckerchief Slide
• Council Shoulder Patch
• Unit Numerals (471)
• Den Numeral Strip (Den 11)
• World Crest with Scouting 100 years border
• Tiger Cub Handbook

You can either purchase the Tiger Scout Cap at the Scout Shop or the Pack 471 cap at a Pack Meeting. If you purchase the Pack 471 cap it will be good for all 5 years of cub scouts. I seem to remember most boys were wearing the Pack caps at the last Pack Meeting. You will also have an opportunity to purchase the Class B uniform which is the Red Pack 471 T-Shirt.

You do not have to purchase official Cub Scout Trousers or Shorts. The Pack 471 uniform is Jeans.

Remember that you do not have to have the uniform for this Tuesday's Meeting, It will be difficult to also get all the patches sewn on in time. There may also be some information on how to get experienced uniforms at a much lower cost.

(for the above listed uniform items and the handbook, I paid $63.75 plus tax)
