There a great many who see scouting as a threat to their agenda because scouting teaches core values and morals, and more importantly, sticks to them. Even worse, scouts learn to be self-reliant and make their own decisions, and that's the last thing anyone on the left wants. I admit it, we do look dorky in our uniforms (especially with shorts and our socks pulled up!) and in my younger days I was a critic too, but then I had sons. Now, we are all active and enjoying it, so don't pay it any mind. Instead, think about all the kids you are influencing in a very positive way, who will have memories to last a lifetime, who are learning skills they can take with them throughout their lives, not to mention the true quality time we all get to spend with our kids. Wear your uniform proudly!
