Uniforms

This seems to me to reflect the misdirection of intent.  IF the ORDER is an honor group dedicated to service, and once focused on enhancing the outdoor programs within the units and Councils, becoming Vigil or even Brotherhood should be secondary to simply following the spirit of the ORDER.  Similar to putting becoming Eagle as the primary reason to be a Scout.  Just the old curmudgeon's personal point of view.  

On a secondary thought, if it is not lodged, try to make a vigil working only at the troop level.   If a youth wants vigil 1. Be part ofthe ceremoniall team 2. Lodge officer 3. works at summer camp and has seen my advice work many times.

When it went to everyone, it's no longer an honor; it's just a checkbox on your way to Eagle. The point that no one is talking about is that the youth view it as a joke. Look at the youth membership that renews for a second year. 

Well, you have to make larger donation, but yes, the OA does have knots too  

Yeah, the lawsuit caused a lot of Scouting endowments to be raided.
