Eagle Charge: _____________: "Scouts of all nations make up one of the most wholesome and significant movements in the world's history.

few of us in now..

Those look cool! I have never seen them before. Can you bring/fit anything in them comfortably, day pack etc? How are they in windy weather and rainy weather? YIS

Anyone else Laugh Out Loud when they opened up the BSA website!!?? I'm still laughing, that is one funny picture! Looks to me he's too happy to be wearing the uniform incorrectly! My questions is what is in his right hand? YIS

come on in!

I would like to echo SWScouter, How is Supplex nylon and sparks?

Would this supplex nylon stuff be good for winter time use as well? YIS

BrentAllen, thanks for the response. Out of the different material short sleeves you wear, which is the best in the hot weather, what keeps you coolest?

What material shorts/pants do you all wear? I have to buy new shorts and pants and plan of getting a couple of each. Any suggestions? I see the shorts are available in different materials as well as the pants. What kinds do you all prefer? Especialy for different occassions, camping, formal etc... Thanks! Poly/Wool-shorts/pants vs Poly/Cotton-shorts/pants vs Cotton-shorts/pants I have to also get a few new shirts, any suggestions for the different seasons. Too many choices imo! Three different materials for short sleeve shirts! What should I choose!? YIS

Yes I have considered some reproduction stuff but I have not had much luck locating them. Any suggestions of military re-enactment repro stuff/manufacturers? Websites etc...

How long were these jackets in circulation? I have seen pictures of Scoutmasters from the 40's wearing neater and shorter length versions than the early 20th century ones... YIS

Does anyone know what kind of Jackets were worn I believe prior to the 1950's by Scoutmasters. They have 4 pockets on them, and are worn with a belt. I believe the only insignia is the Boy Scouts of America strip. I have been trying to track down some pictures, but they are hard to find. BP and Uncle Dan are seen in some old photos wearing them... I have heard that they are called norfolk jackets. Anyone know? YIS

"Urban Scouting"? Here we go again (remember 1974?). What happened? I was born in 84. Eagle in 03. I know of some bad stories of scouts during the vietnam years. Is that what they are referring to? Fill me in... IMO, scouting in urban areas should be looked into in a big way. Lot's of urban kids need the solid direction scouting can provide. YIS
