Full cub scout uniforms are available for purchase locally at the Aloha Council Scout Shop. Scoutstuff.com is the BSA's online store where you can purchase things not available in the store.
Hawaii Kai Pack 101 encourages scouts to wear their full uniform at Pack meetings and various Pack events. We highly believe getting all the boys in uniform promotes cohesion, equality, and develops a sense of belonging to something greater.
Aloha Council is located on 42 Puiwa Road, across the parking lot of Nuuanu Valley park.
Scout Shop Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30AM - 5:00PM, Saturday 10:00AM - 3:00PM, Closed Sundays & Holidays
Phone: (808) 595-6366
Here's what you'll need from top to bottom:
Field Uniform/Class A
Rank cap
Rank neckerchief
Neckerchief slide
Purple world crest scout patch
Aloha Council patch
Red "101" numbers
Short sleeve Cub Scout shirt
Cub Scout shorts or pants
Belt
Socks (low cut or high cut based on preference)
Pack T-shirt (available at the Pack)
Activity Uniform/Class B
Download the uniform inspection sheet to see where the patches go, or check out this interactive website. Our recommendation is to buy big and let your son grow into it.
The full blue Cub Scout uniform is referred to as the "Field Uniform" or Class A.
If an event calls for the "Activity Uniform", it refers to the Pack T-shirt and shorts, also called the Class B uniform.
I don't recommend the switchback/convertible pants, and I don't think they're available at council anymore.
You'll also need the Cub Scout Handbook. I also recommend the nylon book cover since the paper book covers get torn easily.
If you're great at sewing, that'll save you some money. An alterations store will charge $2-3 per patch.
Kids lose the neckerchief slide easy when they start running around. I recommend a black hinge style paper clip to help hold the neckerchief in, a large rubber band, or something or something similiar to that effect. I don't recommend tying the neckerchief into a knot to since it could be a choking hazard.
The total approximate cost for a new uniform is $100, but well worth the investment!
Informed Consent, Release Agreement and Medical History Forms
by Cubmaster Jason
The Scouting adventure, camping trips, high-adventure excursions, and having fun are important to everyone in Scouting—and so is your safety and well-being. Completing the Annual Health and Medical Record is the first step in making sure you have a great Scouting experience.
Upon entering the unit, Scouts and volunteer leaders will be asked to fill out the Annual Health and Medical Record which comes in three parts.
Note that Part C only needs to be completed prior to any overnight camps. My recommendation is to deliver or fax the immunization part of B and all of Part C to your child's physician as soon as possible to get this on record. It creates some stress to get these forms done one to two weeks prior to the event at the last second! Hold on to the record until your leader collects it from you.
If you cannot get yourself or your child to a physician easily, you may want to consider a walk-in clinic like CVS' Minute Clinic, where you can get a "camp physical" and necessary immunizations at a reasonable cost. They also take most insurances.
This information is used by Scouting leaders to be able to respond quickly, appropriately and with all possible information to medical emergencies.

Informed Consent, Release Agreement and Medical History Forms
by Cubmaster Jason
Upon entering the unit, Scouts and volunteer leaders will be asked to fill out the Annual Health and Medical Record which comes in three parts.
- Part A is an informed consent, release agreement, and authorization that needs to be signed by every participant (or a parent and/or legal guardian for all youth under 18).
- Part B is general information and a health history.
- Part C is your pre-participation physical certification. A pre-participation physical is needed for resident, tour, or trek camps or for a Scouting event of more than 72 hours. The exam needs to be completed by a certified and licensed physician (MD, DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. If your camp has provided you with any supplemental risk information, or if your plans include attending one of the four national high-adventure bases, share the venue’s risk advisory with your medical provider when you are having your physical exam.
Note that Part C only needs to be completed prior to any overnight camps. My recommendation is to deliver or fax the immunization part of B and all of Part C to your child's physician as soon as possible to get this on record. It creates some stress to get these forms done one to two weeks prior to the event at the last second! Hold on to the record until your leader collects it from you.
