Uniforms There is one way all Scouts are alike. Whenever a Scout sees another
Scout in uniform he knows he is like that person because both have committed to the
principles of the Scout Promise and Scout Law. By wearing the uniform Scouts and Leaders
are taking an open stand for their convictions. The scouts and leaders should wear their uniforms to all Pack meetings,
den meetings, Roundtable, and outings. For activities like the parish cleanup, or camping
activities that may cause damage to the uniform, we would like the boys to wear their
official scout caps to identify them as scouts. Scout t-shirts are available for sale were
uniforms are sold. There is also a Pack T-shirt, which may be worn for such activities. Scouts in Pack 318 buy their own uniform, including general patches.
The pack provides advancement badges. Tiger cubs have an orange Tiger T-shirt. Wolf and
Bear cubs use the blue Cub Scout uniform, while Webelos can choose whether to wear a blue
Cub Scout uniform or tan Boy Scout uniform shirt. Pack 318 accepts any dark blue pants or
shorts worn with the blue Cub Scout shirt. Uniforms can be bought at the Scout Shop (388-0591) at 521 S. Edgewood
Ave. or at Army Navy Outdoors (725-5000) at 128 Monument Avenue. Consider giving outgrown
(experienced) uniforms to new scouts after removing your scouts advancement badges. Cub Scout Uniform

Webelos Scout Uniform
The Webelos Scout may choose either the blue Cub Scout uniform, or the tan/olive uniform similar to the one worn by Boy Scouts. The location of badges and insignia is the same for both uniforms. The tan/olive uniform is strongly encouraged. Boys who are growing out of their uniforms after the completion of third grade should replace their blue Cub Scout uniform with a tan/olive uniform.
