Some questions lately about patches...
Pictures: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/InsigniaGuide/05.aspx
1) Den Number/Patrol Patch (Webelos wear patrol patches) (your den leader has patches).
Right sleeve, just below US Flag
2) Council Patch (Greater Pittsburgh) (in "starter bag")
Left Sleeve at shoulder seam
3) Pack 661 (in "starter bag")
Left sleeve, below Council (Greater Pgh) (leave 1/2 inch or so between patches)
4) World Crest (purple Fleur de lis) (in "starter bag")
Above left pocket, leave 1 inch between pocket flap
5) Advancements (Tiger/Wolf/Bear/Webelos)..earn through the years
On left pocket, see above pictures (link) for positions
6) Quality Unit (not yet distributed to all Scouts)
Right sleeve, 2-3 inches below flag (see above pictures (link))
7) activity patches (Scouting for Food/camping/pinewoord derby/fun day....)
These can go in a "temporary" mode on the right pocket. Some of them have loops to put on the button. One patch on the uniform at a time. They do not go on the back of the uniform - you can do a red vest and put patches on a vest.
Excerpt from "Guide for New Parents"...
The Pack provides (as part of sign-up/dues costs) all patches for the uniform.
Due to the individuality of sizes, the Pack encourages you to purchase your son’s scouting shirt. While there are socks, hats and pants available, we do not require them. Some scouts love to have the top-to-bottom apparel; really the shirt is most important.
We will not turn any Scout away due to financial/uniform concerns! Please contact Cubmaster if assistance is needed.
The official uniform:
1st Grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade
Blue Cub Scout Shirt......Purchased by family
(Dunhams, flag plaza (www.gpc-bsa.org for times), scoutstuff.org)
* We hear that Dunham's stock is slim; suggest
flag plaza (Pgh beside Mellon Arena) or online scoutstuff.org
Navy blue pants, jeans, blue shorts.....family
Neckerchief and patches.......................Provided by Pack
Optional: belt loop, hats, socks.............family
4th grade, 5th grade
Blue Cub or Khaki Boy Scout shirt (suggest khaki).....Purchased by family
(Dunhams, flag plaza (www.gpc-bsa.org for times), scoutstuff.org)
* We hear that Dunham's stock is slim; suggest
flag plaza (Pgh beside Mellon Arena) or online scoutstuff.org
Navy blue or khaki pants/shorts or jeans....family
Neckerchief and patches.................................provided by Pack

Boys should wear their uniform to den and pack meetings, except when activities could cause damage (eg, painting/wood cutting). Leaders will let you know when to leave the uniform at home…
The uniform should also be worn at all Scouting activities, such as scouting for food, popcorn sales, non-dirty community service, parades.
1st grades/Tiger Cubs: There is no need to buy the orange t-shirt (unless you see it on sale for .99 and he wants one). That shirt is no longer the official Tiger uniform – Tigers wear the Blue shirt like all Cub Scouts!
Shirt colors:
Boys in grades 1,2,3 wear blue Cub Scout shirts.
Boys in grades 4 & 5 (Webelos) have the option of blue (Cub Scout) or khaki (Boy Scout Shirts). (We recommend khaki as this carried forward as they become Boy Scouts in 6th grade).
Buy Big!
Where to buy shirts/other:
Dunham’s Sporting Goods (Bridgeville)
Flag Plaza Scout Shop (Pittsburgh beside Mellon Arena http://www.gpc-bsa.org/ScoutShop/default.asp)
