Cub Scouts Uniform
Scouts Canada is a uniformed organization. The uniform helps build a feeling of belonging, pride and self-discipline.
A full and complete Cub Scout uniform is required for all activities unless indicated otherwise. If your Cub Scout is wearing the old tan uniform, at each formal event the full uniform is worn, including the sash. For less formal activities (such as parts of regular meetings), the sash is not required.
For some rough-and-tumble-and-let's-get-dirty activities, only the necker is worn (if your Cub Scout has a Tech T-Shirt, he/she should wear that as well). Akela and the other leaders will let you know when you can leave uniform pieces behind.
Cub Scouts should wear footwear that is appropriate for the activity. In addition, they are required to wear running shoes while involved in indoor activities. You will not be allowed to participate in sock feet for safety reasons, and wet boots ruin the fun for everyone, so remember your indoor shoes during the winter.
The Cub Scout Uniform is now available at the Fredericton Scout Shop or online at www.scoutshop.ca.
New parents, please note that 1st New Maryland provides the Group Neckerchief, the Neckerchief Slide, and all crests for your Cub Scout's uniform. The neckerchief is free, but if it needs to be replaced, we will have to charge a $5 fee, to partially cover our costs.
Your Cub Scout will also need the Cub Scout Handbook, and should bring it to every Cub Scout Meeting unless advised otherwise by Akela or the other leaders.
Costs are:
- Shirt - $24.99
- Tech T-Shirt (optional) - $11.99
- Cub Scout Handbook - $9.99
