A new Boy Scout in Kilt

[MuffinMan]

Jeremy, you are half right, the older boy/girl organization is the Venture's, where some do in fact have Kilts as their uniform. I even as the one who started this post, never condoned the wearing the Kilt with the Official Boy Scout uniform, but simply wanted to let others know what some of the boys are wearing with their Troop T-shirts. Yes, things among adults sometimes get really silly here in the scouts, but our hearts are all in the same place.
I want my children to learn what they can in scouts and apply it in their adult lives. Both my son's are very close to Eagle, but I firmly believe they don't really know what they are gaining by hanging on and finishing the program.
Please don't use this thread to bash scouting, what else do we have to give our son's direction in life? We have our faults, but the end Does justify the Mean.

I declare this a popcorn thread!



Actually, on a more serious note, all this bickering is really starting to get old.

Personally I think if you have a problem with Scouts in Kilts YOU have a problem because the rest of us think it's great. Here is a pic of me recieving my Silver beaver.

Yer in a Venturing shirt, the BSA rules on uniform don't apply.

Congratulations on receiving the Silver Beaver.
