From the Official uniform guidelines
"No alteration of, or additions to, the official uniforms, as described in the official publications, or the rules and regulations covering the wearing of the uniform and the proper combinations thereof on official occasions, may be authorized by any Scouting official or local council or any local executive board or committee, except the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America after consideration by the Program Group Committee"
A key here is the definition of "official occasions." I would understand that to include at least Courts of Honor and the like.
As a former Boy Scout Leader I remember having trouble getting boys into proper uniform pants at all. I know one of our local leaders who is regularly kilted when working with his Troop. Maybe some of our kilted BSA Leaders on the forum could share their experience.
Now that I'm not registered with the BSA I'm thinking that maybe I should get a McLaren tartan kilt in honor of my service with the BSA. Having completed Wood Badge, I am qualified to be an honorary member of the Clan MacLaren Society.
