A new Boy Scout in Kilt

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Gee Corey, I can appreciate where you are coming from but, since its inception in the United States in 1910, Scouting has been, and continues to be, a uniformed organization. That is what sets it apart from the myriad of other groups-- such as the YMCA and local church organizations-- and what has encouraged its survival for nearly a century in the USA.

It would seem to me, looking at the twelve points of the Scout's Law, that one way a scout shows his loyalty to other scouts is thorough his obedience to the rules and regulations of scouting. And in my book (or should that be "handbook"?) that includes the wearing of the uniform in the manner prescribed by National Headquarters.
