Where to buy uniforms
Buy Cub Scout uniforms in person from the Cape Cod & Islands Council Scout Shop at 247 Willow St, Yarmouth Port, MA 02675
You can also get uniforms online at scoutshop.org.
Going in person is easier because the staff will help set you up with a complete and correct uniform. They will also sew on patches for a discounted price.
