My troop also requires star and life scouts to perform a service project. I look at it as a leadership learning opertunity. The more service projects, the more we as Boy Scouts give back to the comunity. These small projects for star and life, get you ready for your Eage project. Some troops might have problems getting people out to help with all these projects. I was always told that one day I would need there help with my project. There is no spicific rule in the handbook for star and life projects, it was always a troop policy. It seems to me that people do not want to work these days for their rank. Each troop is different.

Wearing the uniform should be a since of pride. The rule in each troop is different, but if one is wearing the uniform everyone should. We are leaders and the boys look up to us. If we, as leaders, do not wear the uniform, the boys will not. I understand that we all work and sometimes we can't always change before the weekly meetings, but when we go camping or fundraising, we should all look like a unit. Drinking in uniform, come on people! Look at who we are representing. The BOY SCOUTS! We are not the United States Marine Corps or any other branch of the uniformed services. We are leaders, do you want your little boy drinking in uniform?
