The uniform needed depends on rank. Tigers, Wolves, and Bears all
use the blue uniforms, while the Webelos I & II use the tan
uniforms. It is important to buy the uniform a little big since
doing so may mean you will be abe to use it for several years (especially
if you are buying one for a Tiger!).The hats and scarf's will change
every year (except between the Webelos I & II years). You may
get either the long sleeve shirt or the short sleeve shirt. Most
prefer the short sleeve shirt though.
When transitioning from Tiger to Wolf or Wolf to Bear you will
need to replace the hat, scarf, tie and book. The rest of the uniform
will stay the same.
When transitioning from Bear to Webelo I, you will need to replace
the shirt, hat, scarf and book. You may also choose to replace some
or all of the patches as well. Some choose to remove them from the
blue uniform and put them on the tan. Others choose to simply buy
new ones and put them the tan uniform. Either way is acceptable.
You will NOT move the rank badges from the blue to the tan uniform
though. The Webelo patch is designed to be worn like a Boy Scout
rank patch and the rank patches will be in the way.
When transitioning from Webelo I to Webelo II, there is nothing
that needs to be purchased.
Class "A" uniform consists of:
- Shirt
- Navy for Tiger, Wolf and Bear
- Tan with blue shoulder loops for Webelos (if you already
have a blue shirt for Webelos, that is fine).
- Neckerchief and slide
- Patches for shirt—we are Pack #3024 in the Gerald R Ford Council
- Hat (optional but most wear)
- Belt (optional but most wear)
Class "B" uniform consists of:
Class A uniforms and patches may be purchased at:

Please note that if you go to the scout shop in Kalamazoo, you should
tell them that you are part of the Gerald R Ford Council if you
are buying a Council patch.
Please also note that the scout shop in Kalamazoo is the only place that you can buy a pack 3024 patch (other than getting it from the pack directly).
Class B uniforms are bought through the pack.

sewn into it. |

Summertime Award is pinned centered on the right pocket flap.
World Conservation Award is worn as a temporary patch, centered
on the right pocket. TIP: There are clear plastic holders
for temporary patches available. These will also go over
the button on the right pocket and may be easier to change than
sewing the patch to the pocket. |

Wolf, and Bear. Gold Arrow Points are worn beneath the
pocket and below the badge for which they were earned.
Silver Arrow Points are worn below the Gold Arrow Points in

Tiger Cub service. Not more than five medals may be worn.
Wearing sequence for medals or knots is at the wearer's discretion.
The only knots worn by Cub Scouts are the religious emblem knot

Crest is worn centered between the left shoulder seam and the
top of the left pocket. |
