Jeremy, you are half right, the older boy/girl organization is the Venture's, where some do in fact have Kilts as their uniform. I even as the one who started this post, never condoned the wearing the Kilt with the Official Boy Scout uniform, but simply wanted to let others know what some of the boys are wearing with their Troop T-shirts. Yes, things among adults sometimes get really silly here in the scouts, but our hearts are all in the same place.
I want my children to learn what they can in scouts and apply it in their adult lives. Both my son's are very close to Eagle, but I firmly believe they don't really know what they are gaining by hanging on and finishing the program.
Please don't use this thread to bash scouting, what else do we have to give our son's direction in life? We have our faults, but the end Does justify the Mean.
