wow! Alot of talk about something i never really gave a thought to.

so anyway here is my question then.

started a new venturing crew. with most of the crew and adults we are involved in multiple unit ie. pack, troop, and crew. at aproximatly $65 a pop for the "official field uniform" we agreed it is impossible to make these parents , myself, and others, pay for another uniform. we have one a step above the "t-shirt" and had polo type shirts embrordered and require tan dress slacks as our uniform for the crew. does this mean we cannot salute the flag? it is in my opinion that some people are to uptight about this subject. i am not going to disbandon the crew because we cannot afford uniforms. i think the progam that is for the boys/girls is a little more important than we have to have a bsa official uniform to participate. I am sure that when things started in 1910 it was the program that was important. don't loose touch with why we adults are involved. We are not the uniform police.

just wandering. should I not recharter the crew because some people here say i cant salute my flag in what we consider our uniform.

p.s. just to agravate some of you, yes, I do have the crew in our polo shirts participate in the guard with the Troop "in class "a" and the cubs in Class "a" when we have a combined activity.
