Eagle92 110 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Here is the link to the new shorts that double as a swimsuit. http://scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&ctgy=PRODUCTS&c2=NEW&C3=&C4=&LV=2&item=689SHORTS&prodid=689SHORTS^8^01RTL& Question, since these also serve as swimsuits, can you put yout BSA Lifeguard, Mile Swim, Snorkling BSA, etc awards on 'em Link to post Share on other sites
GKlose 24 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was a little surprised at the $30 price until I saw the present price on Centennial Switchbacks ($50). We're those new Switchbacks cheaper a few weeks ago? I don't remember them being that expensive. Guy Link to post Share on other sites
NickP412 10 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 i really cant believe the prices there gouging us for, one thing i learned years ago is if you see a green pair of shorts buy them. you dont know how hard it is to find green pants that look like scout shorts but arent. i think scout swimming trunks are crazy!

MissingArrow 12 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I always am amazed when I spend time up at summer camp at the amount of boys who will wear their swimsuit all day long, every day for the week. These at least will match the uniform shirt, unlike the bright orange and white board shorts. I was excited at the $30 price, but that is because I had been looking at the $50 pants first...

GKlose 24 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 That's the funny thing about all this. There are relatively new Scout swim trunks: http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&ctgy=PRODUCTS&c2=APPAREL&C3=AOTHER&C4=&LV=3&item=644BSST&prodid=644BSST^8^01RTL& The price is very reasonable, at $9.99 a pair. I'd agree, unnecessary, but reasonable. 100% nylon, mesh lining, pockets, logo, etc. Make a set of shorts with similar specs, and a fly I suppose, approved for uniform wear, and the price is now $20 more.

artjrk 11 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Did anyone else notice this from the link posted by the OP? "Our Centennial Supplex Uniform Short is designed to offer a Land to Water option that is functional and convenient. Stuck at the Aquatics Center before needing to report to the Mess Hall in full Class A? This new short is the answer! Throw it to the test at Summer Camp and let us know what you think. This short is made from 100% Supplex Nylon that is light weight and quick drying, yet a durable, athletic fabric. It is also an anti-microbial product that offers great sun protection with a UPF rating of 50 . This is a complete moisture management product." Did a BSA official page actually make reference to "Class A" uniforming? Hmmmm.... Link to post Share on other sites
Hal_Crawford 15 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 OMG, your right! How did all miss that? It will be interesting to see how long that copy stays up on the site. Hal Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 I guess the BSA now officially has a Class A uniform! Link to post Share on other sites
