Scouting-not a team sport? Well forget about my patrol then or my troop or my district or my council-oh please. My point about the uniforming is that our young men do wear "uniforms" all the time and we need to have at our disposale a product that meets the requirements we have-hikig, camping canoeing tect and that companies like Columbia provide a wider range of options for real world use that do the BSA- to wit; Been to Philmont lately- but any othe shorts or zip off pants available out thetre with the Philmont logo on them? practicle for there not necessarily for the Florida Sea base.

As a Eagle Board Chair (and Eagle Scout) let me direct you to the man you see every morning in the mirror-he's the one you have to please and he knows how much you want it and he is the one who knows when you are doing your best-Let him motivate you everyday and in every way.

Back in the day..scouting was a uniformed organization. Back in the day..."scouting is a game". Can you name me one game that the teams don't have a uniform when they compete? certainly not the teams that our youth play on, namely soccer, basketball, hockey, baseball, etc. (by the way the coach won't let you play unless you are in uniform). Keep the uniform but don't let Oscar de Larenta design it-maybe the folks at Columbia or REI etc.
