Uniform Guide
The Scout Uniform
Uniforms are a key part of the methods of Scouting. The uniform consists of a shirt, belt, cap, and neckerchief with slide, pants / shorts/ skorts.
Patches indicate the Pack (Pack247), the Council (Cradle of Liberty Council) and Den. Achievements are worn as belt loops. Optional patches for events and other achievments can hang from the pocket.
To buy your uniform and get assistance, check out the Valley Forge Scout Shop or the Online ScoutShop. Be sure to check with your Den Leader first; they may have gently-used uniforms to pass down. (A Scout is Thrifty!)
