Congrats to Tatonka on a full day kilted!
To answer MrMayhem, the kilt and Scout shirt (of the Boy Scouts of America uniform) do go fairly well together, especially if you've got a MacLaren tartan. (As has been noted in past threads, Clan MacLaren allows Scouters that have been Wood Badge trained to become associate - non-voting - clan members).
[off-topic] At least the "old" shirt works pretty well with my Scott red - the BSA just introduced a new uniform shirt that is a slightly greener shade of khaki/tan. They've also done away with the red tabs on the epaulets (now forest green) and the red stitching and red troop numerals - all forest green. This is partly due to new fabric technology - better moisture control and durability - and partly for the 100th anniversary coming up in 2010. The old uniform is still OK, and the new uniform is designed to mix-n-match with the old pieces so you don't have to replace everything right away.
Unfortunately, the Insigina Guide - the guide for uniform wearing - doesn't mention kilts. I generally have only worn my kilt with my uniform shirt when I'm piping. The only program that allows 'different' uniforming from the "standard" is Venture. Venturew Crews (coed groups ages 14-21) are allowed to choose their own uniform, for the most part, so they can choose kilts if they wish. If participating in large encampments (like Jamborees), they're encouraged (read expected) to wear the standard Venture uniform - Green "Explorer" shirt and gray shorts/trousers. [/off-topic]
