Given the way you laid things out, I would agree, MM. You are doing the community a great service by volunteering your time to be a scout leader.

As for rebellion? The only way I can see it as being rebellious is if you were to be told by your higher-ups to cease and desist with the kilts, and you continued to do so regardless. But if the path you've chosen is accepted by your community, then anyone who is not a part of your local situation should refrain from offering unwelcome, contrary advice and suggestions -- they are out of order.
