Actually $60, but there are shorts on sale for $23.

There were 5 (?) items to consider. That was one. The others that were also voted down included moving the rank requirement to star, going back to the "vote only for 1/2", something to do with the honor society name, and one other I don't recall.

They announced a name change right around the time they exited the BSA.

My son is in Boy Scouts, and they way he is growing, you are insane if you think I am going to buy him BSA uniform pants every six months.   I have a hard enough time keeping him in pants for school, so $120 for pants  for one day a week and several weekend events is not going to happen.  His shirt is squared away 100%, but there has to be some realism here.  And BSA socks - what is the point.  Even the military does not tell you brand of sock to buy.  Common sense is allowed.     my story of the early late 70’s/80’s is this - I was not allowed to wear my scout shorts and the scout socks we bought for summer camp In Mississippi),  because I did not have the tabs that went with them.  Did not have them at our local JC Penny, did not have them at camp.  Too bad - long pants for me at camp (100 degrees, humidity, etc).  One of the reasons that I dropped from scouts (along with weekly uniform inspections).  The troop I was in before in Europe, the one that was amazing and everyone wanted to be in, no one cared abOut your uniform socks or pants.   what is the priority?  What is the intent and lesson?  What is the return on investment for the scout?  

Yeah, I’ve frankly never seen it outside of discussions of the BSA bankruptcy.  But, when in Rome . . . 🙂
