They are acceptable on campouts. I occasional where them to work. You will see them at Pow Wow as well. We have a low cost supplier for them on occasion. Also I have 3 pairs. When we go backpacking it seems to be the uniform of choice for the boys.
Now Wed. Nights. We wear class B, Class C uniforms. With out that uniform there is very little incentive to advance because no one wears their uniforms except on only a few occasions. As for me and my outpost with very few exceptions wear our Class B and C for the Glory of God and to reveal the advancement trail to the GMA and the health of our Ranger Program.. In less than a year I have a vision of a hundred men and boys reaching, teaching and keeping boys for Jesus Christ. If we run the program like it is laid out in the manual it will work with some elbow grease and prayer.
