Why Cub Scout Uniforms and Handbooks Are Important
There is a lot of chatter about “why” we place so much emphasis on uniforms. Uniforms serve many purposes.
-
Equality. The uniform represents a democratic ideal of equality. Children from various cultures and different economic levels wear the same uniform and cooperate as equals.
-
Identification. The uniform identifies a boy or girl as a member of the Cub Scouts. Badges on the uniform tell other members that they belong to their den, pack, and council. The uniform itself identifies a good citizen to the entire community.
-
Achievement. The uniform displays badges and other awards so the accomplishments of each Cub Scout can be immediately recognized.
-
Commitment. Wearing a uniform is a constant reminder to each Cub Scout of their commitment to the ideals and purposes of Cub Scouting: duty to God, loyalty to country, and helpfulness to others.
Just as you would not send a child out to play any sport in an old pair of shorts and tee shirts, you should not send your child into Scouting without the proper uniform. A uniform identifies a youth as part of a group and would give them a sense of belonging.
