Took me forever to join...

I have a wool jack shirt, but I got my son a Red Fleece jacket, and I then put a BSA Jacket Patch on the left chest of it.. works and looks great.. He's the only boy in the troop completely uniformed.. anyway, I would prefer a range of colors for winter wear.. I like the Cabelas Jack shirts, they are fleece lined, and warm.. also not expensive. I would like to find myself a Forest Green one and put a BSA patch on the pocket and wear it in fact. I don't have any boys really interested in uniforming out in BSA wear. But if a practical winter uniform was developed then I'd be interested in gettin

I have one of the newer Jack Shirts.. I like it, but find it a bit too light on the material.. I would prefer a thinker wool.. In fact i would prefer a 100% wool version.. I do tend to wear it mostly to Scout Meetings.. It's a bit too cold here to rally wear it in the Winter outdoors.. but i plan to wear it more when the season gets warmer.. I did see a version that is made thinker, and has lower hand pockets.. I liked it but it cost almost 170 bucks???

Hello everyone, I'm looking for someone who could provide me with a contact to contacts for a good Scout T-Shirt provider. I want to have t-shirts made up for my Troop. Over here it's too expensive.. Thanks in advance.. Mike

I don't mind the new uniform. I do think that making it in the USA would have been a better idea.. But the layout isn't bad. I have the light weight long sleeve, and the heavier short sleeve versions. I also have the Switchback pants, but don't really like the cut of them.. I have two pairs of the older trousers and have been wearing those to meetings, but in the field wear the Switchbacks.. they are light weight, and will dry faster. I don't like the velcro closers on the shirt pockets.. I would prefer buttons all around.. One interesting thing I saw at Kandersteg last month was that man

Hey From Switzerland.. Are you part of TAC?? Were you at Klondyke last month in Kandersteg?

In the Army we had a little saying for this.. Proper, Planning, Prevents, P..., Poor Performance. Anyway, I even looked up the Historical Badges on the link they give: http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&ctgy=PRODUCTS&c2=NEW&C3=&C4=&LV=2&item=HISTORICMB&prodid=HISTORICMB^8^01RTL& www.scouting.org/100years And this link doesn't have any information about the badges... Would like for my boys to get a chance to work on these sooner rather then one month before the end of 2010...

Have to agree with what's already been said. One thing I see from my Troop is that some of the Scout Leaders don't take their jobs seriously. That is starting rom the Adults down to the PLs, & APLs. I find myself the only ASM showing up to meetings wearing a uniform, and talking with the boys about leadership. I had a situation this past weekend where we were in a small Mountain Chalet, and the SPL, and ASPL were cooking up breakfast first, and the other boys were running late getting things done. I took the SPL aside, and let him know that he as a Leader should never eat first. He should

Hello everyone.. I've been trying to join up on this forum for months now, and finally it let me in??? Anyway, I was myself a Cub, and Scout. While I was stationed in Germany in the early 90's I got back into Scouting as an ASM at the local Wurzburg Troop. I think it was Troop 67?? anyway, after two years there, I returned to the States where I was stationed at Bragg, and after getting out, moved here to Switzerland with my Wife who works for the UN. We now have children, and my Son is 11.. I finally had the time to get him invloved due to the distance of the troop from my home.. 35 kms away
