Thanks all, I'll pass on your congradulations to Mom. Her service to youth goes beyond Scouts, she also works with Head Start and other youth service programs in the area. Like Dale said, she's Mom to a lot of people.

Shawnesse, 2001 National Jamboree I was a patrol leader.

LKC, your troop has a great website, I'll have to spend some time going through it. The local venture troop is coming to my blacksmith shop as an event later this spring.

Arlen, I've personally seen only one other person in my council wearing a kilt with the uniform (and it is a big council!), but I know there are others around the country, some of whom are XMarkers. But it's not very common.

YIS,
Nick
