BrentAllen 10 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Latest rumor I heard was a new shirt coming out, similar to the Switchbacks (meaning an outdoor, synthetic material), in August. That may turn out to be just as accurate as the prediction I heard that the new uniform would be out this past January. Link to post Share on other sites
srisom 10 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 When I was a Scout, in the 60's, the shirt and pants were the same color and were made of durable material. Scouts outgrew them more than they wore them out. We wore them to all functions, meetings, camporees, etc. Recently came across a picture os a Canoe Race in 1966 and all Scouts in the canoes were in uniform. The new activity shirts and pants have drawn mixed reviews. Unless you are close, you would not know the shirt was associated with BSA. Intentional? Used to have one uniform for everything, outings and Court of Honors. Now have to have two, an activity uniform and a dress one. Maybe we should revive something from the past.

Ditro 10 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I hope it's a multi-use uniform. I think that when Boy Scouts do Scouting activities, they should be identifiable as Boy Scouts, especially when they are in public. I agree with srisom. Maybe we should bring back the former way of doing things. Link to post Share on other sites
austin_wb 10 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The switchback 2 for 1 sale is to get rid of the switchbacks. National TODAY sent out a email to all the scout shops. National is going to be issuing a new uniform. Top to bottom. Yes that means a new hat, shirt, pants, patches, socks, etc. They will be coming out on August 1 2008. They look pretty cool and i am looking forward to the new look. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind a new shirt but I already have a billion pairs of socks. Link to post Share on other sites
austin_wb 10 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 the new uniform pictures are not out yet to the general public. I visited my local shop and they showed it to me. [closing duplicate topic] (This message has been edited by a staff member.) Link to post Share on other sites
