Picking Colors

It can be challenging to pick colors on your device because of monitor variables, lighting, and glare. Some color combinations can strain your eyes to look at. Contact one of our expert customer representatives if you’re concerned about your ink and shirt color combination.

Navy Blue

Usually looks Black on most phone and monitors. Navy is closest to the color of a New Cub Scout uniform. Like the uniform, after a few washings the color becomes more blue.

Royal Blue

Royal is the blue in the Cub Scout logo and the American Flag.

Gold

Athletic Gold color that’s a bit deeper than the yellows used in Cub Scouting. In general this gold looks the best.

Daisy or Lemon Yellow

Yellow that matches the Cub Scout logo and many Cub Scout elements. As a shirt color, it can be a bit harsh but many packs are happy with it.

Iris Blue

Iris blue is a lighter Royal Blue. It is very close to the background of the Bobcat rank badge.

Carolina Blue

Carolina Blue is a great choice if your looking for a light blue thats not a baby blue.

Sapphire Blue

Many Cub Scout Packs order this one thinking it is Royal Blue. Sapphire is more like a deep turquoise blue color with a tropical feel.

Indigo Blue

Indigo Blue is like a grayish washed out Navy Blue. It is often mistaken for Navy on monitors since Navy appears like black.

Royal Blue Ink

Standard color especially for Cub Scout logo on gold or yellow shirts.

Gold Ink

Standard color especially for Cub Scout logo and on royal or navy blue shirts.

Glow Ink

Hardest ink to print because either it looks motley during the day and glows great, OR looks great during the day but has minimal glow.

Navy Ink

Often looks like black ink on all but the lightest shirts. Same goes for Dark Chocolate and Forest Green inks.

Lemon Yellow Ink

This ink sometimes lets shirt color come through. It ends up looking too light on many shirt colors.

Over 90% of Cub Scout Packs order the B110 100% cotton T-shirts. The B110 is used as the base pricing you see in our ads and on in-house design idea pages. The popular B110 100% Cotton Short Sleeve T-Shirt is made by Gildan®. Gildan is known for quality, large color selection and maintaining very good stock availability. View B110 details

Some Cub Scout Packs opt for the 50% Cotton / 50% Polyester 5.5 oz Short Sleeve T-Shirt from Gildan. Colors are limited when compared to the B110. View B120 50/50 details

Gildan’s 4.5 oz 100% Polyester Performance T-Shirt is a great option for Cub Scout Packs with a very active outdoor program. These shirts dry fast! The shirt feels like a cotton shirt but is think and light weight like a wicking shirt. View B576 Wicking Shirt details

It’s a Challenge

“What shirt size do you want to order?” The best advice we have is ask them! Guessing sizes is a minefield. Every Cub Scout Pack group is different. From our experience, it’s best to avoid Youth Small size. Kids grow too quick. Most Cub Scout Packs get a mix like 40% YM, 40% YL, 20% Adult Small for the Cubs. We have a tool to help – try our Size Distribution Calculator

Size Sample Kit

For the B110 100% Cotton Short Sleeve T-shirt we have a size sample kit you can order. It comes with a coupon you can apply to your Cub Scout Pack t-shirt order.

Size Variation

Not all medium-sized shirts are the same. Garment types (even from the same vendor!) are often cut differently. In general, all garments are cut differently. Please review the garment detail pages for sizing information. Smaller shirts and features like zippers, v-necks and scoop necks can affect the overall imprint size for all your shirts.

Order Extras

Ordering extra shirts is the best thing you can do to solve size issues. After the shirts arrive, some people change the size they need. Having a few backup shirts enables you to keep those people happy. As new people join the group, it’s a great idea to have a shirt to welcome them.

Mixing Garments Types

Everyone wants something different? We can help with that! As long as they can all be printed with the same design & ink color(s), you can mix garment types like sweatshirts, ladies shirts, and hoodies with your T-shirts. Price will vary per garment type, but the total quantity determines the price break!

Reorders

Reorders are priced based on quantity. It’s a good idea to get some extra shirts at the higher price break. If you need a smaller number of shirts after your first order, they will cost significantly more.

How is pricing determined?

Quantity of garments • Type of garments • Number of ink colors • Sides printed

Prices vary. View pricing info in the design idea viewer.

Example pricing is for B110 one color, one side print, Expires 12/31/17

• Decide on the design: In-house Design Idea or Custom? • Pick your t-shirts and other garments. • Round up the cost and take pre-orders. • Order 20% extra shirts for new people. • Place your order and make changes to the provided proof. • Wait a short time for your new t-shirts to arrive!

Screen printing is the Best Choice for larger custom t-shirt orders since larger orders usually cost significantly less when screen printed. A screen printed design will last as long as the garment—even when worn by an active person. Visit our article on the screen vs digital printing. See the extensive charts and description of the decoration process.

Digital Printing is good for shirt orders under 10 pcs. It is a computer controlled printing process that applies a special ink to the fabric. While not as durable as screen printing, the digital print has an advantage: it costs the same regardless of the number of ink colors used in a design. This process is perfect for small quantity orders for dens, special events, and single shirt orders. Digital printing cannot reproduce some specialty inks like Glow or Glitter.

Everyone Can Wear a Cub Scout Pack T-shirt

Cub Scout Pack T-Shirts are a great way to build pride in your cubs and their parents. Parents don’t often buy an Official BSA uniform unless they are part of the Cub Scout Pack leadership. Cub Scout Pack T-Shirts are a way for everyone to feel a part of the cub scout pack at events.

Gearing up for Fun

Some activities are not suited to full Official Uniform wear. When the fun is really intense, t-shirts are easy to wash and much less costly to replace. Your Cub’s parents will thank you!

Recruiting

Start the conversation about your Cub Scout Pack! Your cubs will wear their Cub Scout Pack t-shirts to school, church and sports activities where the uniform would not be appropriate.
