STEP FIVE - Enjoy the adventure!

Join our monthly pack meetings, hikes, community events and the many fun activities we have planned for our pack. Welcome to Pack 665!

Class A uniforms are worn during pack meetings and official scouting events. While wearing a Cub Scout uniform is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged and is an important part of being a Scout. It helps Scouts develop a collective identity and let the community know they are involved. The scout uniform includes a shirt, pants, belt, socks, hat, neckerchief and neckerchief slide. For more casual events, Class B's (scout related t-shirts) are recommended. Details on Class A uniforms can be found here: Cub Scout Uniforms

Scout uniforms can be purchased online at https://www.scoutshop.org/

or in person at the Northern Virginia Scout Shop at 5232 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22151.
