      Remind me again, please? What does the word "uniform" mean?

      By skeptic · Posted

      They would never ask if you bought something for someone not there.  I remember when I got my black bull for the red jacket I was told the tail went over the shoulder only if you climbed the Tooth.  Not an issue for me, but today, if I had not done it long ago, I would not even be allowed to do the climb.  They have cracked down on older or out of shape hikers just taking off while in a training class or just passing through, or at least so I am told.  I climbed the Toot on my day off from a training class in the seventies, but since did it both as part of a trek and also just for fun on another training visit.  That first trek, we spent half a day working on the Tooth helping a new alignment of the trail.  Hot and dusty and still had to hike into Base.

      Don't know. As I understand bolos came out of the Southwest;  Philmont is in the Southwest, so sounds possible. Back in the day as I prepared for Philmont, I heard various alumni state one could only wear Philmont belts, bulls, arrowhead patches, neckers, etc. if one completed a Philmont Expedition.  It must be earned. Then my beloved Troop Scoutmaster who had never nor would  visit Philmont requested I purchase a Philmont belt & buckle for him.   A dilemma to  test of Scouting values?  Where is it written?  Confident that I wasn't officially doing a wrong thing, I bought him the Philmont belt and buckle.

      Changing Troop Culture as a New Scouter

      By DuctTape · Posted

      As far as changing "troop culture", unless it is the SM with agreeable ASM, it is near impossible.  It is much easier to change Patrol Culture as the Patrol makes their decisions. This is best accomplished by having the Patrol choose events separate from the other patrols.

      I might wear those just for the heck of it. Uniforms and uniformity are important, "they" say all methods are equal but I personally think the uniform should be more equal than others because of the financial diversity in my area. That being said, because of the financial diversity in my area I am on the N+1 improvement road for uniforms at my unit; I'll worry about the socks after I get every scout into a properly fitting uniform shirt and then if I can ever get more than a handful of scouts into any type of green pants.  Didn't the bolos come out of Philmont? I once had an old timer tell me that the rule "back in the day" was that you could only wear a bolo if it was purchased at Philmont. Where I live, if I see someone with a bolo, with my personality, I typically ask them if they have ever even been West of the Mississippi, and then when they so no and don't get the whole out West vibe bolos give off I mock them to some degree and ask them something about when they are picking up their spurs.

      I felt the same about Bolos.  I thought neckers were uniform... worldwide.
