Jim, I too disagree. We argue all day long about
whether pants are part of the uniform or we should allow
BDU's, etc and then we say " Hey just lob of the parts of
the shirt you don't like." The BSA uniform shirt IS the
BSA uniform shirt ..unless Rick can find a BDU shirt,
too. (Sorry couldn't resist, Rick) It has a United States flag
on it. If you are member of BSA that's the uniform shirt.
If the Thai government doesn't want the scouts to wear
"BSA Shirt" then they should not wear the shirt. The
whole shirt.
