Scout event kilted

[Nick]

My mom recieved the Silver Beaver award at a Scout luncheon (that's an award for volunteers), and I went with her, my Lady, and brother.



My uniform's a bit baggy, I used to be heavier.

And because every Scout knows that a Scouter is never far from coffee


Got several comments at the event, the Scout Executive said it was international Scouting at its best. Got a couple negatives, too, but I don't care. Most were interested and thought it was great.

On the way home at a gas station an old lady told me about her brother who wears kilts. When I went back to the car, there was a carfull of college students getting air in their tires. They started laughing hysterically, but I didn't pay any attention, I didn't know if they were talking about me. But then they back their car right up to me so they could get a good stare, then sped off while one of them yelled "Nice Kilt!". I don't know how it was meant, but at least they got the terminology right

Very cool! Now I know how to wear my scout socks that I still have. haha

And way to go, "Mom." Nick's mom is "mom" to many.

DALE.

Nick,
Congrats to your mother for the Silver Beaver. Not just anyone gets that privilege. If you've read any of my other threads, myself, jackson123, and animalk, are all in a venture crew here in dallas. Our crew specializes in living history. Specifically Texas frontier life in the 1870's. A group of us are the blacksmiths in the group that are also kilt wearers.

Eagle Scout, very impressive!

Both my older brothers are Eagle Scouts. I unfortunately never made it that far...

That is wonderful, congratulations to your mom, you look great in your uniform plus the kilt, I am glad you had a good day despite the college kids.

Thanks for the picture. Volunteers make all the difference. We should all do some.

Nice for you to go and support your Mom and honor her properly.

Very cool, Nick. As one scouter to another, I think that looks great. We did a merit badge college here recently and a guy I work with that I didn't know was a scouter diid American Cultures and wore his kilt the first day. He and I have been wearing our kilts to work for the last few Tartan Days. YIS

Well done to your Mom and you.
Do very many Scouts there wear kilts? Most of the Scouts here wear them, but I had no idea if it spread out at all.
