Boy Scout kilts

[billmcc]

My Boy Scout venture crew {boys and girls 13 to 21 years old} made there uniform bottom a kilt. The boys love it it and so do I { it was realy my idea} and the girls are just o.k. with it.

kenNYG,

What kind of kilt (tartan, plain) are you and your crew wearing?
Do you think the girls would be happier with a kilted skirt?

I wish I'd had you for a Scoutmaster.

The kids wear a green plad tartan that I dont know the name of. We bought the last ones that U.K. had and they dont make them any more. We've gone to Black Stewart . I have the geen, black stewart, the Marian camie becouse my son became a Marian June 30,05.

You have to remember that cost is important to kids that work part time. I know that a lot of you don't look up to U.K. but I have found them quite comfertable and they they helped us out on the price. I have order a black kilt from Bear Kilts and should get it in the next few weeks.

I'll have to ask the girls about the kilted skirt. That may make them feel better not do be dreesed the same as the boys.

As my mother always told me " be diffrent, be happy and have a great day, Ken

Ken,

If nothing else, you are following in the footsteps of tradition with your Scout kilt-wearing. Lord Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Scout when I was a lad, as he was for many years, frequently wore the kilt as part of his Scout uniform.

Well done!

which leads to my question. I have a vague memory of there being a scout kilt. It was a long time ago but I'm almost positive. Maybe it was Baden-Powell's tartan.

A quick look have two listed here: http://www.tartans.scotland.net/tart...cfm?startrow=1 One looks a bit like a lighter version of the shadow kilt, not bad.

When I was a Boy Scout, quite a few years ago, it was very common for Scouts to wear the kilt. I don't remember if there were a special tartan. I remember that Lord Rowallan, who took over from B-P, usually wore the kilt.

It's good to see the legend returning. Kilts and scouting go together very well. Can't believe some tried to stop it.
