sherminator505 10 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I have seen too many Scouters wear that belt with their official uniform to say no. I'm pretty sure it's fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Narraticong 15 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If you made the trek, wear it with pride! Congratulations and best of luck on your BOR. Ken Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You're good to go with the leather Philmont belt. Check out the isnpection sheet found here. http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/images/pdfs/34283.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
Kawidaphoenix 10 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 That belt is more or less a symbol of honor as much as any patch you would wear on your uniform,so I would say wear it with pride to your board or COH. Totally acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites

nrp1488 9 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Since you're going for your Eagle BOR, I assume you have your Communications Merit Badge. Did you do any written communications? Do you know where the shift key is on your keyboard? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NickP412 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 well NRP its the internet, i really dont care Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nick, that's not the best attitude to have. You never know that one of the folks here might actually be a certified Eagle Guest in your District. Anyway, whether you have a Philmont stock leather belt, if someone going to PTC tooled you one, or you have a nylon Philmont belt, wear it with pride Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nick, As an Eagle mentor, please accept this advice in the spirit of Helpfulness. You SHOULD care. It DOES matter. Communication is the way we present ourselves to others and poor grammar, mis-pellings and careless punctuation do not leave a good impression. You are correct that these posts on an internet forum are more casual that a term paper or your resume, and we do forgive obvious typos and also those posters who clearly do not know better. You know better, however. Are we to assume that you just don't care enough about our opinions to take the time? Texting your friends is one thing, but here you are leaving a permanent record for tens of thousands, possibly more. Take the time. Link to post Share on other sites
Apache Bob 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 The only problem I have with the Philmont Belt is that over the years my belt has gotten smaller in size. Its not as long now as it was when I purchased it. Any ideas as to why? Link to post Share on other sites
Crew21_Adv 25 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 NickP412 and Fellow Scouters, Wearing a Philmont Belt during an EBOR (or any BOR) may raise questions. Certainly a good discussion topic. (As with anything you wear on your uniform) Scouting Forever and Venture On! Crew21_Adv Link to post Share on other sites
sherminator505 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 As I have gotten older, my belts have gotten shorter too. Pants have shrunk as well. It's a mystery. Link to post Share on other sites
NickP412 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sorry about the punctuation. Ill try better in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
