When it comes to Cub Scouts, the uniform is more than just a shirt—it’s a symbol of pride, belonging, and progress. But with different colors and styles for each rank, it can be a little confusing for new families to know what’s what. In this post, we’ll break down the Class A uniforms for each Cub Scout level—from Lions to Webelos—so you’ll know exactly what your Scout needs, when they need it, and how to wear it with confidence.
You can order your Scout’s uniform online through the Scout Shop or visit the Tampa Scout Shop at 13228 N. Central Avenue Tampa, FL 33612.
Please talk to your den leader before ordering the uniform to avoid ordering items you won’t need!
