Hoodies and Pack T-shirts (Class B Uniform)

Bright aqua blue with small pack logo on front and large cub scout logo with "DO YOUR BEST" in yellow on the back.
These run pretty true to size(maybe even slightly larger).
Available in most sizes

Hoodies: $25

Dark blue with pack 216 on the front. Have a front pocket and fleece inside. Very warm.
They run small so order a size big enough to last a while. Many scouts love to sew their activity patches on them.
