As someone who "fell out" of scouting at 18, but got everything out of it that I wanted, I say congratulations. Now, being a young Eagle scout, is the time that he can help lead the troop, and take on the other events that may have been missed. Philmont, Sea Base, etc here you come.
As a Life Scout, 3 time Philmonter, and an Assistant Scoutmaster for a Venture Crew (on paper, too busy being a newlywed to make meetings at the moment) I say CONGRATS and be Proud.
What are the Boy Scouts views on kilts by the way? I may being going on a backpacking trip next march and thought about doing it kilted, but we will see. Thanks, and Congrats again!!!!!
I rarely know any troops who backpack and hike in Class A (or field uniform or whatever they're called now) so it would usually be Class B. B's are generally a scout related shirt. The bottom half is up to the wearer.
In Crews (I used to be a crew president, adviser and Ranger) the uniform is up to the Crew except in situations where the Class A (green shirt, grey slacks) would be warranted.
In Sea Scouts, kilts are a no go, as in any other loose fitting clothing and necklaces.
