Well, maybe I've led a sheltered life during my 20+ years in Scouting,
but I've never met anyone that exhibited the attitude mentioned above.
Many years ago, a Scouter whom I respect a great deal told me the reason
he always attempted to wear his uniform correctly was because he didn't
feel it was proper to ask the boys to do something he wasn't willing to
do himself. This made an impression on me and I've tried to follow his
example. And it hasn't been too difficult.
