The Wolf Cub Uniform is designed to fulfill two functions - to be practical and to allow a more formal look. The basic uniform consists of a shirt, a neckerchief (necker), and a sash. While there is a wide variety of optional items (belts, hats, etc.) this is the basic outfit. Along with a Cub Book, these are the most important items to purchase.
At each meeting and formal event the full uniform is worn. For less formal activities, the sash is not required. For some rough-and-tumble-and-let's-get-dirty activities, only the necker is worn - and it is tied (leave the woggle at home!).
The shirt will have all the identifying badges/patches that identify to which country (Canada), province (Ontario), council (Central Escarpment Council), and area (North Waterloo) your Cub belongs. Those that don't come with the shirt will be provided. Epaulettes (also provided) will be handed out to indicate that your Cub has been invested, and are also used to indicate whether a Cub is a Sixer or a Second. The picture below shows how a 1st Elmira Wolf Cub uniform should look.
The sash is red, with yellow stripes. On the sash will go the stars, badges, and awards that the Cub earns either during the meetings or through personal or family activities.
There is a diagram in your Cub Book showing the placement of awards, stars and badges. From the top:
The necker is the easiest way to identify which pack a Cub belongs to. Each pack has its own distinctive colours. Ours is forest green with a yellow trim and the orange 1st Elmira maple leaf. The standard way of attaching it is with the Cub woggle. The necker and the first woggle will be provided.
