The Boy Scouts of America has always been a uniformed body. There are many reasons for this. One reason stands out above all the rest. We wear the uniform because it is a means of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed-character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness.
The fact that youth and adult members of Scouting wear a uniform doesn't mean that we're all alike. We come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds. We have our own religious beliefs and political views. We are each individuals with our own family traditions and loyalties. So the uniform is not intended to hide our individuality. But it is a way we give each other strength and support. It is a bond that ties us together in spite of our differences. It is a way of making visible our commitment to a belief in God, loyalty to country, and to helping other people.
The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys and adults alike should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended.

Essential Items Your Scout Needs
A Blue Shirt
Short Sleeve is best.
Buy big: one or two sizes above what he wears now. It's less shirts to buy, and you won't have to transfer patches as soon.......It won't look weird having him wear such a big shirt, because all the other kids in his den will be wearing really big shirts too.

A World Crest Patch
Everybody needs one of these, and they're the same for every Cub Scout in America.
A Council Patch
Make sure it says "San Diego-Imperial Council" on it, and is shaped like this.
A Neckerchief, Neckerchief Slide and Hat
There are different colors for each age!
Orange for Tigers (First Grade), Yellow for Wolves (Second Grade), Blue for Bears (Third Grade), and checked for Webelos (Fourth and Fifth Grade).
The Scout Store People can help you find what you need.
Highly Recommended (but not required)
A Belt
really good to have. The boys will be earning belt loop awards, and its good if they have a belt to put them on.
The Rest.........
Socks, pants, hats, etc. are all fun to have, but you can get by without them. Most Cub Scouts wear blue jeans with their Scout shirt.
