Kilted at Cub Scout Christmas Celebration

[Chas]

My 8-year old son and I wore our Stillwater MacLaren kilts to our pack Christmas celebration last Thursday. I wear kilts everyday as well as to scout functions, but it was sons first time kilted at scouts. The best part was when two other scouts told their parents that they wanted kilts.
My son wants to wear one of his kilts to school, which I am totally supportive of, but I am going to make sure it is OK with the principal as I don't want to get a call telling me to come and get him.

Always good to hear of kilt wearing becoming a family activity, rather than just "something Dad does". I am sure you two will go from strength to strength.

My congratulations, I always like to see a father/son in their kilts together.
One question if I may. Whenever I see American scouts in their MacLaren kilts, they are always in the modern colours. It this the regulation or can they also wear ancient/weathered colours?

Contentious question Downunder. We have had heated threads on this before. The quick answer is that according to US Scout Regulations the kilt is not part of uniform. There are exceptions, but of course that only emphasises the rule.

I for one would like to see the regulations changed officially, but the BSA does seem to have it's head stuck in the sand on this one.

Regards
