Uniforms
Here you can find out about the uniform pieces required for the various ranks. To uniform a new Scout for Pack 962 will cost you around $90, but many of the pieces will be good for multiple years, so choose your sizes carefully.
You may optionally decide to purchase a Red Vest to provide a place for your Scout to put their participation patches.
We often make neckerchief slides, also called woggles, don't feel obligated to purchase more than one.
Patches required for the uniform shirts- Red Unit numbers (962), and a purple World Crest emblem. Scouts receive their Council Patch as a gift from Pack 962 at their first Pack meeting!
A word about pants/shorts/skirts- Due to the high cost and limited wear of official Scout pants, Pack 962 allows blue pants, shorts, and skirts from other stores, as well as denim. Please, no basketball shorts or other shiny "athletic wear". Webelos and AOLs wear olive green pants or shorts, or jeans.
If purchasing a uniform is a financial hardship, the Pack maintains a uniform closet so anyone who wants to be a Scout, can be a Scout!
