Thanks to all who responded. I didn't realize there were such a deversity in the uniform issue. To respond to some of the comments; We are a boy led troop. We allow the boys to make most if not all the desisions. The leaders and myself are there mainly to make sure that the desisions are within reason. If I were to let the PLC or the troop make the decisions about the uniform it would be soccer shorts and muscle shirts. I was in scouts for only a short time in my youth and I was not in any branch of the military. However, my father, a Navy man, taught me to respect the uniform and t

I need your input. I've been dealing with this for some time and I want to know if I'm just being too strict. I have been a scoutmaster of a troop for nearly five years now.

We are looking to do a non traditional summer camp with our boys next year. I'm looking for a camp ground in or around the Cherokee area of NC. Two years ago we did a camp in Racoon Mt. Tenn. The camp grounds offered several merit badges for the boys to earn during the week as well as having some fun activities that the boys enjoyed. The boys were also able to earn their railroading merit badge while we were there. Does anyone know of a campground in this area that the boys could camp and earn merit badges as well? Thanks in advance.

I've been in scouting for about eight years and I have been Scoutmaster for five of those years. I'm looking forward to networking with other scouts and making new friends along the way.
