REQUIREMENTS

UNIFORMS

Uniforms are not required to participate in scouting. If you choose to purchase a uniform the shirt and accompanying patches will be sufficient. If your scout wishes to display their adventure awards, the belt may also be purchased. Uniform shirts should be tucked in and buttoned when they are worn.

Purchase of the Cub Scout manuals is not necessary for advancement, but if possible the pack encourages all scouts to have their own copy.

SCOUTBOOK

Scoutbook is the Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA) free official tool for advancement record-keeping and reporting. Its primary purpose is to help Scouts, parents, and registered leaders track and report advancement records. It can also help Scout units track who needs to take or retake Youth Protection Training, plan events, and send messages to their members. Scoutbook lets parents and Scout units maintain an web-based record of Scouts’ advancement. Both leaders and parents can use Scoutbook to keep track of scouts advancement.
