Webelos Scout Uniform

Webelos Scouts may choose to wear either the blue Webelos uniform based on the Cub Scout uniform or the tan/olive uniform similar to the one that Boy Scouts wear.

For the tan/olive uniform, boys wear the official Boy Scout olive trousers or shorts (or dark pants with belt loops) and official Boy Scout tan long- or short-sleeved shirt with blue shoulder loops. Official (optional) blue socks (with gold tops) are worn with the blue uniform, and official (optional) olive socks (with red tops) are worn with the tan/olive uniform.

With either uniform, all Webelos Scouts should wear the Webelos neckerchief (plaid with the Webelos emblem), Webelos neckerchief slide (handmade slides are also acceptable), Webelos cap, and Weblos belt buckle.

Note that the Webelos belt buckle will fit either the blue or olive belt, but the belt loop recognitions for the Cub Scout Academics and Sports program fit only on the blue web belt.
