Thanks for the prompt and insightful replies on the uniform program.
I also, am very proud of the sharpness of my khaki uniform, on
which I can wear the few ribbons that I've earned. I plan to continue
wearing it, and would feel a little less than comfortable showing up to
Ranger meetings in BDU's and t-shirt at this point myself. And I sure
wouldn't feel comfortable as my Buckaroo Commander and I helped lead
praise and worship on uniform day at our church in BDU & t-shirts. Likely
that our Pastor & board might not think it to be too cool either. : ^{)]
But in a camp setting, give me the the BDU/t-shirt idea ANYTIME!
Please understand that I'm just trying to get in the boy's heads
and keeping in mind that a large percentage of our Outpost has been Urban
Ranger/street type guys. If we change to BDU/t-shirt, awards vests will
be needed for patch displays. Not much "shining" to be done in the future
as far as awards for boys from what I can tell. But I'm not knocking the
new program, which will be a great improvement in my opinion. If patches
work for the BSA, and it's not hard to see their success, we should do
well with all patches and ribbon awards also.
Your replies bring up another question. With the talk that Pastor
Jeff recently confirmed with the Dickies company about them
discontinuing the khaki pants, what is the remedy going to be towards
getting the proper color match for pants and shirt combo's for our
commanders and boys? And that question brings up another question: Does
the Dickies company manufacture the GPH uniforms?
Incidentally, I learned at our District Commanders Conference
that the embroidered emblem patches are one inch below shoulder sleeve
seam line, instead of the 1/2 inch that regulations requires.
