Well, truth be told, he does look a bit clownish:-( He is the size of a 4 year old and so even the Small shirt is in reality, way too big.I will try to convince him otherwise, of course.

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to post this.

My son and I are new to Cub Scouts. He is very small for his age and the small Cub scout shirt is *gigantic* on him. The breast pocket is down at his waist. The look on his face when he tried on the shirt was one of real disappointment. He was so excited with the prospect of wearing the shirt with all the badges but this morning told me he thought he couldn't be a Cub Scout because he was "too small".

Does anyone have any suggestions? I suppose we can bring the uniform to a custom tailer hand have it altered, but the cost of that would be prohibitive and I'm not sure it would even work. I could tell him that he needs to wear the shirt "as is", but it does look pretty ridiculous (and it wold be a struggle to get him to wear it).

Are there any alternatives?

Thanks,

Bart
