The Scout Uniform

By Rob - June 18, 2019

I have mentioned earlier that our troop is a full-uniform troop. Once, every Scout troop wore the full uniform and one would scarcely have been considered a part of Scouting without it. Lord Baden Powell, the British founder of the international Scouting movement, believed the uniform was one of the essential pillars of Scouting. The idea of having Scouts wear a uniform grew from purely practical considerations. Lord Baden Powell wrote this about the origins of the Scout uniform: I knew from experience with boys of all sorts in our first experiments in Scouting that one fellow got his trousers all torn and wet going through a scrub, another wearing a small cap got his face - very nearly his eyes - badly scratched by thorns in going through the bush at night, and the rain ran down his neck, others got too hot in their coats and waistcoats, another, going bareheaded, got sunstroke, and so on.

Sun is up....time to eat....merit badge class...eat again...more merit badge classes.....dinner time.....was hot all day....camp almost over. The end Sorry ladies a land gentleman...all I have for you today. Nah...I can’t do that to you, but like many the end of camp offers a chance to really reflect on how much fun this trip yes, but exhausting at the same time. We are currently driving the 2 trucks with trailers and a bus full of scouts back to Texas. This morning as the camp woke the realization that camp is almost over sets in. The scouts and adults started packing up their footlockers, cots, backpacks, etc. All of the scouts and adults worked diligently to get everything packed into the trailers and to get ready for the bus. It is a bit chaotic but we always seem to get it done. Once packed up the Mic-o-say tribe members met one last time before we left camp. The scouts all met back at the flag area near the dining hall for clo...
