A new Boy Scout in Kilt

[macwilkin]

WOW! The Uniform Police sure make the Kilt Police seem like pussycats.....

It's not about "the uniform police". It's about the "place of the uniform".

I tend to agree with Rathdown on this particular issue. In the case of the Boy Scouts, it is about the uniform in terms of creating esprit de corps, no matter how much in the BSA want to deny the Scouts' military roots with Lord B-P.

When I worked in the park service, I noticed that the boy/cub scout troops that followed the uniform regs more closely did have more "unit cohesion" than those that didn't. The Sea Cadets I worked with were even better. I certainly understand the need to be flexible given incomes and the current state of the economy, though.
