First of all I want to thank you all for your
replies to my post. I would like to clarify my position just incase some
of you commanders got the wrong idea about the actual point I was trying to make
regarding the apperance of the the new Ranger Kids uniform on women. First
of all (as I mentioned in my post) I have nothing against women wearing pants, I
was just trying to say that THOSE particular pants don't look very
feminine. I want to thank Kelly Gist for her reply, it helped me look at
the skirt problem in a whole new light (I never knew you women
had such problem with those RR skirts). Pants would seem to
be more comfortable when working with such young kids especially
during campouts, like when you have to run after them. I do
believe though that there should be at least some distinction between the male
Ranger Kids uniform and the female Ranger Kids uniform. However I do agree
with you, EagleDad, women can and should be allowed to wear "what
they feel best suits them." Which is also why I was glad to be given that
information by Jonathan about women, in the new program, being given the
choice between wearing skirts, culottes, or pants with their Class B
uniforms, skirts or pants with their Class A uniforms. I know many female
commanders will be happy with these new changes, since I know some women who
perfer to wear skirts and some who wished they could wear pants in the
Royal Ranger program. I just freaked out because I though that
ALL women who wanted to be Ranger Kids commanders were going to have to dress
exactly like that picture and once again I know women who would not have
liked that, but like commander Trower pointed out that wasn't
a clear photograph, who know probably when I see the real cover of
that book I'll say that it doesn't look that bad.
I should and will wait until the new program comes in
before making any more observations and (constructive) criticism, lest I
make a "mountian out of a mole hill" again. Once again thank you for your
replies and God Bless you all!
