Boy Scout kilts

I believe the Webelos tartan was designed for that purpose. If I'm thinking of the correct one, it's listed as Cub Scouts of America. I believe that it was after my time (1964-ish).

My Cubbing days were about the same time, maybe just a little later. I am an Eagle Scout, Class of '74, NE-V-126 (I used to be an Eagle...), and Brotherhood Member of OA, Ty-Ohni Lodge (inactive currently).

Growing up in BSA I have some very mixed feelings about uniforming. There were always those who took uniform inspections to nearly military standards, but I also took (and still take) great care to mke sure my badges were correctly placed. Uniform pants, for young guys, can be an issue as they are expensive and you outgrow them so quickly. Uniform exchanges make a difference, and not looking askance at hand-me-downs from my cousin made it work too.

Kilting and Scouting? I am all for it! Scouting is a International brotherhood and I think anything that promotes cultural understanding and appreciation is a positive. Where I draw the line is the use of clearly military apparel such as camo. Tartans and Rep ties may have military roots, but they do not send the same message (intended or not) that camo does.

My $.02!
