Information for parents
When a Cub joins the Group, an information pack is issued to their parents which explains how the Group works and what is expected of the Cub and their parents.

What about the uniform?
Uniform is not expected for the first couple of weeks while the new member settles in and learns what being a Cub Scout is all about.
Usually, after three weeks attendance, the Cub leader will discuss with you when the new Cub is to be formally admitted to the section (Invested). A Cub Scout uniform is required for this investiture to take place.
There are photos of recent investitures available for viewing.
The Group sometimes has some second-hand uniform items, but usually a new uniform is required to be purchased from Basingstoke Scouting Supplies. These requirements will be discussed with you.
Uniform requirements: A Cub Scout jumper and Cub Scout activity trousers. The Group provides the Group necker and all badges on investiture.
