Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your boy earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew them on, but they are provided.

Where to purchase the Uniform

The Denver Area Scout Headquarters is located at 10455 West 6th Ave (between Kipling and Simms on the north frontage road of 6th ave). The Scout Shop (phone: 303-477-4830) is located in the southeast corner of this building. The scout shop can help you find all of this, just let them know you have a new scout.

To get an idea of pricing, or to order items online, visit http://www.scoutstuff.org. This is the official online scout shop. They should have the same prices as our local scout shop.

Wearing the Uniform

In general, every Cub Scout should wear his uniform (Class A) to all Cub Scout Den and Pack Meetings. We have a Class B uniform that is a yellow shirt with our Pack logo on it that we wear to family events and hiking events.

When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other family activities, Cub Scouts may wear an alternate uniform, such as an activity shirt. These are sometimes referred to as Class B Uniforms. We give each registered Scout a free activity shirt. We sell them to siblings and parents for $6 a piece.

Please contact your Den Leader for more info about uniforms.
