well for what it is worth, I finished my eagle with an explorer post 12 years ago. I have since taught at a BSA summer camp kilted and done Philmont in kilt. I found that when you are teaching young scouts wilderness survival classes in a kilt it is amazing how the people that were telling you that you were a disgrace to scouting half an hour ago are suddenly telling you what a pleasure it is to work with you when they realize that the kids they can't control in troop meetings are sitting and listening to everything you say with rapt attention. especially after you tell them and the parents with them that they will be spending a night in the wilderness with the others in the group with nothing but a ball of twine and a pocket knife.
