Helpful Hints
While you are welcome to buying multiple uniforms for each season and as your scout grows, we recommend ...
Sizing - When starting in grades 1-2, buy the uniform big. Your scout will grow into it.
Shirt - We recommend a short sleeve shirt since a long-sleeve base layer can be added in colder weather
Pants - We recommend microfiber, zip-off version. This will dry better and offer shorts for warmer weather.
Badge Magic - For those not inclined to sew, this "super tape" works great to affix badges. Available at the Scout store.
Webelos - When your daughter or son becomes a Webelos Scout and out-grows his uniform, you should purchase a Scout uniform. (Don't forget to donate your old uniform to the Pack's uniform exchange).
