How to Join our Pack

Uniform

Pack 80 requires uniforms be worn at Pack meetings and Den meetings, and occasionally at outings. The uniform consists of the official Cub Scout blue shirt (Webelos scouts can wear a tan Troop scouting shirt), neckerchief, slide, hat, and belt (awards go either on the belt or shirt).  Official Cub Scout uniform pants or shorts are optional in our Pack. It is OK for a Cub Scout to wear any solid blue color jeans or shorts to save on costs (or solid khaki green color pants for Webelos wearing a tan Troop scouting shirt). For most outings appropriate clothing and the yellow Pack 80 "Class B" T-shirt that we provide when scouts join is all that is required.

Uniforms can be purchased at local scout shops in our area, see https://pacsky.org/scout-shops and https://www.svmbc.org/scout-shop, and also at the BSA online store, see https://www.scoutshop.org.

For the official rules on what patches to buy and where to put patches on the uniform see here, https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33066/33066_Cub_Scout_Insignia_WEB.pdf, or also the inside of the back cover of your handbook (see next section below). Our Pack number is 80, our Council is "Pacific Skyline Council, California". For your Den number check with your Den leader.

Handbook

Each Cub Scout rank has a specific handbook.  Handbooks can also be purchased at our local scout shops (https://pacsky.org/scout-shops) or the BSA online store (https://www.scoutshop.org), same as for uniforms. Handbooks can not be shared between scouts since requirements for advancement to the next rank, and requirements for completing adventures, are checked off in the handbook and signed-off by the Parent and Den leader to serve as the official record of a scout's achievements.
