The Kilted Crew

Your a Mac user, you must be full of great ideas! Some day the Macs will rule the world and people will not remember PCs.
Some day all real men will wear kilts! Bagpipes will be part of every school band program.
Someday all men will be able to coordinate plaid with solid or argyll hose for a look that will drive the lassies wild.
Someday I will not have to explain that Celtic is pronounced with a 'K' sound at both ends. ~80)

Welcome,from Inverness-shire.I am no scouting expert,but for my brief time in the scouts those of us that had kilts wore the ones we had.Interestingly no one ever commented,one way or the other,about who wore the kilt,shorts or trousers.

TatterDel,
Some in our scout troop talked about wearing kilts to ren faires and other special events. I have seen them worn by scouters at summer camp.

Rather than deciding on a set uniform, it might be fun to let each of your Venture Scouts choose his or her own kilt/hiking skirt. This would expose the crew to different kilts and perhaps lead to learning about all the differnt styles and tartans available. Your planning meetings for this must be fun. Although the kilt may not be your official uniform at scouting events, you would all be comfortable and stylish on all your outings and at all your meetings. That being said, it probably would be hard to get back into the green/gray scout uniform once you wore the kilt.

Thank you. The Crew has decided that they will pursue this idea later and that it will be an optional item. I'm glad to see that they were at least interested in the idea and I commend them for talking it out and coming to a consensus on it. I'm so excited to be working with such an amazing group of young people!!!

You are right to tell them not to rule out tweeds & the like. They can wear anything they like at anytime.
