If playing active games they may take the uniform shirt off. The Class A uniform consists of the following and is same for leaders:- Cub Scout Uniform Shirt: Short Sleeves are recommended.

There are official BSA Cub Scout blue uniform pants (or green for Webelos/AOL with tan shirts) that can be worn as well, but these are not required. In our Pack, we require that the Scouts wear either blue jeans or similar pants that have belt loops so that the belt can be worn. We also need the Scouts to wear closed-toe shoes.
Returning Webelos Scouts will wear the blue Class A shirt until they earn their Webelos rank. After earning the Webelos rank, they will change over to wearing the tan shirt. Any new Webelos or Arrow of Light Scouts can wear the tan shirt.

For Adult Leaders, we have three classes of uniform:
- Class A: described above
- Class B: Blue Cub Scout polo shirt
- Class C: Pack T-shirt
When to Wear Each Uniform
When the Pack gets together for Den Meetings, Pack Meetings, or outings, the Scouts and leaders should wear their uniforms unless otherwise mentioned. There will be events for which the T-shirt will be worn instead for that event. Wearing the uniform will set our Scouts apart as being Cub Scouts and representing themselves, BSA, and Mission Hills Church in a respectable manner.
When we travel to any outings as a group, Scouts and Leaders are also required to wear their Class A uniform while traveling. Once you arrive at the destination, you can change out of it, but while on the road, the Class A is to be worn. This is a BSA requirement. Wearing the T shirt under the uniform is a great plan.
