Uniforms

The best place to purchase Cub Scout uniforms is at the South Bay Scout Shop in the Council Office located at 970 W. Julian St, San Jose, Ca 95126.  A smaller selection of uniforms is available at Merry Mart in Santa Clara, and you can also order online at www.scoutstuff.org .  The South Bay Scout Shop is especially helpful and is staffed by BSA employees.

Required Uniform:

• Uniform shirt

  • blue for 1st to 5th grade

  • 4th and 5th grade can also wear tan

• Hat for your rank

• Neckerchief slide for your rank

• Handbook for your rank

• Uniform belt with Cub Scout belt buckle

If you do not sew, the Scout Shop also offers a badge sewing service, as do many dry cleaners, and will sew on the patches on the uniform, in the proper locations, for a small fee.  They also have new magic backing material to attach patches to uniforms.
