What supplies and equipment are needed to participate in Cub Scouting?
To get started, your child will need a uniform and handbook, which we'll detail below. All of these items may be purchased at the Washington Crossing Council's Scout Store, which is conveniently located in Doylestown. Alternatively, you may purchase items at the BSA's official online retail site, ScoutStuff.org We strongly recommend however, that you make your first year's purchase at the brick & mortar store in Doylestown as they'll provide clear guidance on the correct patches and accessories. Print out the .pdf file below and bring it with you!
Unless you're excited to hit REI, don't worry about camping or other supplies just yet. We'll provide guidance on those items as we go.

Cub Scout HandbookWith the exception of Webelos (which can be one or two years), your child will be in a different den each year. Their den is typically tied to the grade your child is assigned to at school. Whichever den your child is in, there is a unique corresponding handbook (this is different than Boy Scouts which has a single handbook but separate Merit Badge guides).
The official handbook contains requirements and activities that your child will participate in as they work towards advancement. It is important that each Cub Scout has their own handbook. The Scout Store's 2016 pricing for handbooks is $12.99 |
