I don't think a coed BSA would work out very well... At the ages of 13-18 most guys only have one thing in mind when it comes to women. Let's be honest...

I don't se the purpose of making a new uniform. I don't know about your troops, but in ours the only time a uniform is worn is at meetings, on the ride to and from campouts, and at camporees. The rest of the time people wear basically what they'd wear at home... There really are no problems with todays uniform. Sure, it'd be nice if the shorts were a little looser and there wasn't as much bunch in the crotch of the pants, but other than that it's fine...

lol So many boys need this...

Bummer, I already cut my small scout shorts up to turn my scout pants into scout bell bottoms...

Well, if Owassippe is sold there's always Napowan. It's a great place run by NWSC [the Northwest 'Burbs]. If you guys are looking for something fresh, come check us out. We probably can't compete with Owassippe, but we're awesome in our own little way... www.napowan.com

I beg to differ. I think the regualar uniform is fine. I worked at a camp all summer and the only time I wasn't wearing my uniform was when I was washing it or in the shower. That's right, I'm so manly that I slept in it. I spent aproximately 1200 hours in my uniform. The only thing that is falling apart is the knee socks. But those of you who are experianced know the old cut at the heel trick... I wouldn't mine seeing a drop in price in the uniform. If I recall corectly it's like 50% polyester and 50% cotton. It is mighty thin and not very flame resistant. I know that this sounds weird, by my uniform has lots of tiny burn holes in it from tending to campfires. I think we could cut costs by using 100% cotton instead of the 50/50... The BDU thing is a nice idea, but that'll run atleast $200 a uniform. I sure don't have $200 to spend on a uniform. I rather use the uniform that I have and whatever winter camping gear I can get at thrift stores. I have cumped in subzero weather with stuff that costed me about $20...
