The uniform is an important part of the Scouting program. It identifies the boys and adults as cub scouts and gives them a sense of belonging to the den, the pack, and the Boy Scouts of America. Most boys enjoy wearing their uniform. They should wear it to den meetings, pack meetings, and other special pack activities.

 Here are Uniform Diagrams for your Reference:

 

NECKERCHIEFS
The Wolf, Bear, and Webelos neckerchiefs are the only official neckerchiefs that may be worn by the boys. Webelos den leaders may wear Webelos leader neckerchiefs. All pack leaders may wear the Cub Scout leader neckerchief or special neckerchiefs that have been authorized by the council. All Tiger Cub coaches may wear the Tiger Cub coach neckerchief. (See the Insignia Guide for regulations.) Neckerchiefs are worn only with the official uniform and never with T-shirts or civilian clothing.

 

How To Wear The Neckerchief

 

1. Fold the long edge over several small flat folds to about 6 inches from the tip of the neckerchief. A tight fold prevents gathering around the neck and is more efficient than rolling or twirling.
   

2. Place around the neck over turned-under collar of uniform shirt. Or, wear under shirt collar if desired.
   

3. Draw neckerchief slide over ends and adjust to fit snugly. Let neckerchief ends hang loose.
   

4. The portion of the neckerchief showing below the back of the neck should measure no more than 6 inches.
