Wolf Cub Uniform
Scouts Canada is a uniformed organization. The uniform helps build a feeling of belonging, pride and self-discipline.
A full and complete Cub uniform is required for all activities unless indicated otherwise. At each formal event the full uniform is worn. For less formal activities (such as regular meetings), the sash is not required. For some rough-and-tumble-and-let’s-get-dirty activities, only the necker is worn – and it is tied (leave the woggle at home!)
The Shirt
The shirt will have all the identifying badges/patches that identify to which country (Canada), province (British Columbia), council (Fraser Valley), and area (COHO) your Cub belongs. Those that don’t come with the shirt will be provided. Epaulettes (also provided) will be handed out to indicate that your Cub has been invested, and are also used to indicate whether a Caub is a Sixer or an Second. Where to sew on the badges is identified in the Cub Book.
The Sash
The sash is red, with green stripes. On the sash will go the badges, and challenge awards that the Cub earns either during the meetings or through personal or family activities.
The Necker
The necker is the easiest way to identify which Scout Group a Scout belongs to. Each group has its own distinctive colours. Ours is burgandy with a black trim. The standard way of attaching it is with the Cub woggle, or for more active occasions a well-tied reef knot. The necker and the first woggle will be provided.
Pants or Shorts
Dark blue pants or shorts are at bo worn to each meeting and formal occasion. There is a Cub belt and buckle that can be purchased but we consider this an optional item.
Where to get everything...
We provide all badges, epaulets, Group neckerchief, and Cub woggle. Try here for a diagram of where to place badges on the uniform shirt. This information can also be found in the Cub Book.
Other Items may be purchased at the Scout Shop in Vancouver.
