Early Cub Scout Uniforms |

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Although we may look at early Cub Scout uniforms and say how funny looking they are, I am sure that Cubs at that time were just as happy wearing them as they are today. Sleeve
Pack NumbersFrom 1930 until 1948, Cub Scout Packs used unit numerals in the traditional Cub diamond shape. In 1948, the Pack numeral insignia changed from the felt diamond to individual felt rectangular numerals. The colors for both types were blue on gold. Like the change in the community stripe in 1952, the Pack numeral insignia changed to white numbers on a red fully stitched background. ![]() Den NumberThe only change that has occurred in the Den Number is the location. From 1930 to 1940, the Den Number was under the Pack Number on the left sleeve. In 1940, the location changed to the right sleeve. Denner StripesUntil 1945, the Denner wore two stripes around his sleeve; the Assistant Denner wore one. Original stripes were finely braided silk ribbon that was purchased in a roll. Mom would sew this material around the denner's and assistant denner's left arm. In 1945, new, easier to sew-on (cut-edge) bars for Denners and Assistant Denners were introduced. Today, easy to pin on cords are used.
