OK Maybe I was a bit too abrupt.
The uniform is one of the methods of Scouting and wearing one shows your scouting spirit. The attitude of:
"when I do get Eagle (sometime in July) I will be there kilted, I don't care. and I grew out of my scout pants, they are way to expensive to replace too."
is absolutely wrong for an Eagle Scout. An Eagle Scout Badge is not an end it is a beginning and those of us who worked hard for our Eagle badges are proud of them and would help anyone else wanting to succeed.
I am not knocking the kilt it is great with a class B uniform (which is a stretch but so is a class B uniform). I have worn a kilt with class A but I purchased the correct Scottish uniform shirt, got appropriate patches and followed the Scottish uniform standards.
The Pictures of Kilted Scouts are Scottish Scouts at international events not BSA scouts.
I hope you do well on your Eagle Board, and I hope you can have a sense of pride about your accomplishments. I just don't want you to have problems. Believe me failing a boy at his Eagle Board is not fun for anyone.
