A new Boy Scout in Kilt

[MuffinMan]

I am sorry for all the confusion, in our Troop ,the first Monday of a month, we all wear full Boy Scout uniforms. The other two meeting nights the boys wear Troop T-SHIRTS and whatever they want on the bottom. I am not aware if one wears a scouting T-SHIRT that one has to wear Official Scout shorts or pants. I am quite dismayed over all this bickering of me leading the boys down the path of rebellion, especially on a Kilt site where most of us have been misjudged on the reasons we wear a kilt.

I have to agree with what others have said good on you for being a volunteer Leader, When i was in Cubs My father was a Leader and at the time my brother was a beaver and my mother was a beaver leader. We were a 415th family the 415th at the time had 2 beaver troops, 3 cub packs, 2 scout troops and I think one higher level group. The Family dinner nights for the whole 415th filled up the local high school gym.

but This is over 30 years ago and i don't think anyone was wearing a kilt at the time.

I don't know anything about this photo other than its title, "Keith Martin, Boy Scouts of America". Seemed like it deserved a showing here.




Found a companion pic entitled, "Boy Scouts of America, 1936"

Surely you know where it came from? Perhaps you'd share that with the rest of us?

With pleasure. I just discovered this collection of photos entitled "Old Bands" associated with the website "School of Piping", out of Australia, and these two pics are at the end of the slideshow. http://schoolofpiping.com/photo_albu...nds/index.html

I have no idea what the story is behind these kilted BSA members or why they are in this collection of pics. Is this a pipe band and we just don't have a view of the pipers? Drum corps only? IDK. Wish it gave us some info about where this was and who they were besides obviously being BSA.

There are many other photos of pipers and pipebands on the index at the top of that page as well. I did post the link "Pipers of Past Years" in the Celtic Music section here at XMTS and these are classic.
