Help Decorate the White House
@Tran on 07/10/2012

It was some European Scouts that really got me tiknihng about WHEN we require our members to wear the uniform. They were Ranger age and did also admit to changing opinions as they got older but one of their bigest things was when other people may see us and that included when out on a hike, yet not necessarly at a meeting. Guiding (and in my experience Scouting) often has the oposite view, wearing our uniforms to meetings but not when out in the community unless we're selling cookies or popcorn. Wonder why the public often associates those activities with what we do? OK weather plays a part in what is visible during our outdoor activities, and I've done them in everything from the wet coast to the frozen north but why shouldn't the uniform shirt (or similar) be visible when the outer coat comes off such as warm-up huts when skiing.
