Uniforms
Uniform and Patch Placement Directions
The Boy Scouts of America (and Cub Scouts) have always been a uniformed body. There are many reasons for this. One reason stands out above all the rest. We wear the uniform because it is a means of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed—character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness.
The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys and adults alike should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended.
The Cub Scout and adult leader uniforms are suitable for and should be worn at all Scouting meetings and activities. Uniforms may be purchased at the Northern Virginia NCAC Scout Shop:
Ravenswood Shopping Center off Braddock Rd.
5234 Port Royal Rd.
Springfield, VA
703-321-4836
Uniforms and other items can also be purchased on-line from the Boy Scouts of America at http://www.scoutstuff.org/.
On occasion, when an activity involves boys getting especially dirty, boys may wear a "Class B" uniform, a Pack 1530 T-shirt, available from the Pack. T-shirts will be given to all new boys joining the Pack. Adults are also encouraged to wear the Pack T-shirt, which may be purchased for $10 each from the Pack.
