Another thought..
*I know when I meet 'folks from outside the US.. *I'm forced to
speek so as to be under stood. Among kindred Hobo's I can palaver-<G>
Aussies, share a simular love of
distroying the "English Language"<G>
However, mostly the thing we do when talking to German Rangers at Bundscamp
is to say a word.. and *smile... This smile.. brings joy to my heart. The
joy comes
from knowing I'm among friends.. without a word said.
Fact is.. the more I dream, the more I prefere a smile.. to "words"...
One day. when we all get to Heaven
We'll become *speechless at the JOY of the Lord!
We all shall arrive in proper uniform<G>

We care of course for a clean appearance as Rangers.
But primarily it is the heart that beats behind the uniform that counts.
This in turn motivates the Ranger to wear his uniform with pride.
With all the enjoyment and fellowship at Bundescamp you can be assured
that
we will have even more kids that want to wear the uniform with pride.

You know what strikes me about Bundescamp? (Duane alluded to it too).
When
I was in the Boy Scouts long ago, there was no focus at all on uniforms
looking really good. They were purely functional. They were for the
field
and not especially for dress. No one hung them on hangers in the tent to
keep them pressed while they were out hiking. Every boy, including me,
wanted one. I don't think any of the scouts in my troup preferred a new
uniform over an old one-you'd just have to break it in. "A boy's work is
play" and it was the uniform for a boy's work. Maybe it's just my
impression, but it seems there's a lot more pomp affiliated with a Ranger
uniform than there was with the scout uniform I used to wear.

The scout uniform I wore as a kid was all about adventure. The Ranger
Uniform I wear now I still about that, but it seems to be a lot more
about
honor and ceremony and the responsibility of looking just so than the
scout
uniform was. Maybe that's just a result of our local Ranger
culture...maybe
it's just me. I know I have a lot of trouble getting some boys to wear
them.
