Oak Tree 15 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 In our pack, all the Cub Scouts wear the red numbers. The pack provides the custom unit number. The troop provides a custom unit number in green on tan, but only does that when the Scouts cross the bridge, so there's not too much danger of the Cub Scouts getting their hands on them in advance. Using the custom unit numbers definitely makes for less sewing. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeffrey H 25 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Trust me I know what should be worn now. But when the CUs came out, everyone in them wore tan and greens. The information was so poorly communicated as to who wore what, that when I heard rumours that CS leaders were to still wear red and whites Eagle92, We ran into the same confusing predicament in our Council, but we realize this was a blunder by National. While the policy has now been clarified, we still have Cub Leaders and Webelos in our Council that have wear both colors. Overall, no one really makes an issue of it. IMHO, as long the Webelos boys within a Pack are using the same colors together it really does not matter. I know a couple of leaders that work with Pack and Troop sharing the same unit number. In this case, I see them choosing to wear the green numbers over the white. They can use the same uniform shirt between programs and simply change out the shoulder loops.

Basementdweller 608 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 worried about number colors....my boys be so lucky to have a uniform shirt. Call me an underachiever, I am sewing on those stupid number once. Green and tan it is on a webelos shirt. Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutfish 16 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 How about a festive compromise? Red and Green? Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Fish, DON'T GO THERE Someone mentioned the aqautics staff at a camp used red and green loops on their shirts to ID them as aquarats. I can see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites
Nike 94 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Aquarats should be sporting Carolina Blue epaulets. Nobody else has those and they make you real special! Just ask my BIL. Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutfish 16 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nah, aquatics should use orange and green. Just like Aquaman used. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Nike, Sorry, no powder puff blue thank you. Fish, Red and green are the light colors on ships. Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutfish 16 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yep! Red for port, green for starboard. White for stern or all around. Auqaman wore an orange shirt and green tights. Why he wore a shirt and tights is beyound me though. Could see wearing a speedo ....maybe. Link to post Share on other sites
Second Class 49 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Eagle, if you are truly reformed, then let your son decide and don't give it another thought. Boy led, right? I've got some that refuse to give up the red epaulets, it's their prerogative. What will "they" do if he goes green? LOL. Everyone should lean to overlook the little stuff. Shirt? Pants? Shoes, not sandals? (right), Good to go. I get cracked on because one knot is backwards. Give it a rest! Go do some EDGE on s'mores, it'll all be good. Link to post Share on other sites
