I recall my post president and vice president wearing dark green uniforms in the 90's, definitely before venturing. Maybe the uniforms were older, I've seen some good examples of before my time explorer uniforms.

I have 4 cub scout unifoms that I've been thinking about donating to my younger son's pack. He's moved to the boy scout uniform as a webelos and I have no younger children that will use them. 1 small and 1 medium short sleeve 1 small and 1 medium long sleeve I even have one good pair of cub scout convertible pants, the other didn't quite make it through two scouts. I was thinking that I should sew the required elements on properly. My wife is the pack committee chair, and while she thinks this is a good idea, she doesn't really know exactly how to handle it. They could go to n

One of my son's 4 uniforms used to be mine. It is done up inthe late 80's style, with the white on red unit number, red loops, the old red and white tote n chip on the right pocket, and a green position of respnsibility patch. I made it for him because he is just a busy scout, but it has become his go to choice whenever it is clean. I encourage him to save that one for non unit events, like, OA chapter meetings, NYLT staff development, etc. as I think he doesn't quite look like he is in uniform at troop events, but, he says he likes it because it is soft! He has both long and sh

My son will be getting a campaign hat soon, he's staffing an NYLT and that was what they decided to wear as staffers. An unexpected expense to say the least, but I was thinking of getting one for myself, I guess I'll just skip that for now.

My son is the only scout I've ever seen that wears pathes ont he back of his merit badge sash. He has 4 so far, His OA section patch, the OA NOAC Section patch, his NOAC standard participant patch, and a patch representing our district. He's putting a lot of thought into what the next two should be. He may want to contine the OA theme, but also, he is pretty proud of NYLT. As the one that sews, I've only asked him to stick with his decision, because if he wants to replace one, I'll let him do the sewing!

@@Beavah - your style is going to take some getting used to. I'm going to let my son do venturing without me, completely, I'm already on his troop's committee and his chapter adviser. His crew is focused on shooting sports, which is an activity he enjoys. He is already looking at the ranger award and advancement thing, he's also interested in the Venturing Officers Association thing, because, he can't get enough leadership. But yeah, my post as a youth was basically, more camping, and probably, some sort of trick to get us boys to help girls with their girl scout gold and silver projec

This has been a very interesting thread. Although, sometimes the finder details have gotten more attention than I think they deserve. I think early in the thread the original question was answered a couple of ways and I'm sure the OP got way more than he was expecting on the ins and outs of boy leadership and patrol method.

Wow, the internet is small. I am the chapter adviser for the chapter that cancelled. (is that word spelled with one L or two? I can never remember and they both spell check) @@Oldscout448 and I had a conversation later I'm zealous for letting the youth run their organization, and the chief made the call to cancel. Not a call I agreed with, but it was made. Communication was difficult, as, I was camping with my unit that day, as was the chief. The sad thing was that we were just on the other side of the property where the call out was happening. Lets go back. My assessment is

Obligatory, I'm new to this forum. I've been around other scout forums on the Internet, always looking for that next good idea. I was quite active as a scout in my youth, between the troop, the post, & the OA, there were times when I'd be camping three weekends per month! I came up short earning Eagle, I blame all the fun I was having, then that 17 year old version of myself that had a few better things to do and poof, I was 18. I don't think my oldest scout will have that problem, he's 14 and Life, working on Eagle, with his goal to earn it in time to have his Eagle Court of H
