Here in Southern California the general attitude about clothing is the more casual the better. It's a challenge to get the boys in our troop to dress in their class A uniforms regularly and properly. Any ideas on how to motivate them? Incentives? Someone to give a talk on the importance of the uniform, taking pride in it etc.? Part of the problem, from what I understand from the boys, is that "other kids" (i.e. in their neighbor hoods or at school) have teased them about their uniforms - it's peer pressure issues. If anyone has any ideas on this matter I would greatly appreciate it. TX!

I am a new Assistant Scoutmaster in my son's troop and am very excited!--completed Scout Adult Leader Training 2 weeks ago and loved it! :-) I'll be helping out our Scoutmaster at the Patrol Leaders Council tonight, as we have a lot of issues/planning to do and are working with a new group of patrol leaders. Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to help the boys stay focused on troop business at a Patrol Leaders Council? Thank you, Shoshana K.
