Mr. Boyce 13 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Here's a link to my new favorite rock group, Scouting for Girls. They're pretty funny. Link to post Share on other sites
captainron14 11 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Did you notice what these Yahoos are wearing? It's too bad that National is not as zealous in protecting the use of our uniforms as they are in "protecting copyrights" , and shutting down small companies. National should file a motion forbidding them to wear BSA uniforms. Maybe try dusting off the regulations that state that National owns the rank and insignia and throw that in for good measure. The worst that could happen is that these Yahoos get some free publicity. Link to post Share on other sites
GernBlansten 10 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Since they are requiring the Centenial uniform for Jamboree, shouldn't all outdated uniforms be available to the public domain? The uniforms these guys were wearing went out of "official" after the ODL was introduced, like 1980. Link to post Share on other sites
prairie 10 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Cept once a uniform always a uniform. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 995 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not sure what the problem might be. The two in the background are wearing non BSA shirts, probably British from the look. And, as pointed out, the main singer is wearing a very dated shirt. Are these singers even from the U.S.? Lots of noise for nothing, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
Chug 10 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The band is British and they have all been in the Scouts. I think the drummer is wearing a pre 1967 British Senior Scout shirt, the bass player is also wearing an old British Scout shirt with pre 1986 badges. BTW. Their fanclub is called the Wolfcubs.

Hal_Crawford 15 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 By all means, let's object to anything that makes scouts look even remotely cool. OMG, it could lead to scouts wanting to wear the uniform. GASP! Hal Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Boyce 13 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac was known to wear a scout shirt or two. Last year Glenn Frey of the Eagles posed. . . on the cover of Rolling Stone. . . in a vintage shirt! I think these things help make scouting look less frightening to the average kid, more acceptable. The band is a British pop band. I tend to agree with Hal above. Can you imagine what would happen to Girl Scout enrollment if Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus wore a uniform for a few shows?

Chug 10 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not sure how succesfull the BSA would be trying to sue a British band for a video that was shot in the UK, and according to You Tube wasn't released. Link to post Share on other sites
