looking for advice: Presenting the kilt to Cub Scouts

[BroosterB1]

Not much more to add here; my scouting days were over before my kilting ones began. That said, cubs love things that are seen as manly and "cool", so references to the warrior nature of the highland dress is sure to get a "sick" comment.

As will the sgian dubh, cubs just love knives, first thing a webelos goes after on a camp out is the Toten-chip. Here is a tip, keep your presentation short but informative, then ask them for questions and comments. If you mix in the bit about the great kilt, don't be surprised if you get several takers.

Good on you for working with the boys, they all deserve it!

I have worn kilts to a number of Pack and Den activities (I am a den leader). You will get questions about them, but after a few events they accept them. My eight year old has three and he wears them too. I have overheard a number of boys asking their moms if they could get a kilt and it certainly helps to see a boy of their age wearing one.

Actually, a Webelos would get a Whittling Chip. Boy Scouts (next level up) use the Totin' Chip.

I meant after they cross over. Usually the first campling trip after cross over we had to schedule a wood yard; gave the older scouts an opportunity to lead. ith:
