this is part of the problem of course. old badges seemed easier to
accomodate.
( i joked at a Dist SL meeting that there was a new badge that was
sewn
onto the trouser patch-pocket flap, and people believed me!)
I see no point in badges on uniforms at all, I never have.
agreed. but badges do appeal, as far as my lot goes.
Scouting is becoming like a Freemasonry ; it is something kids do in the
total secret of a scout hall, where they don elaborate uniforms, perform
peculiar rites and ceremonies....
We need to offer scouts and leaders the option of a simple non-badged
'uniform' that they can wear for just about everything and everywhere....
that would make scouts more visible, not less.
agreed. so who decides on what is uniform? as far as I can see (not far
at 11 pm after 5 pints) we each have our own uniform teeshirt,
sweatshirt etc.
Doesn't that rather spoil the whole idea?
Who really decides on what is to be official? (and what mind altering
substance does one need to come up with what is now prescribed- just so
I don't partake?)
