Going back to Abel's letter, I found on the website of this "Chinese Scouting Organization" and I found that their oath makes them do their duty to their president and country. hahaha. Also, on the world scouting page, you can go to the "Around The World" tab at the bottom left and China is not highlighted as having a scouting organization. Mazukka is really covering something up. I don't really think that this Chinese Scouting Organization is really true. Just go here and look at thier policies and oath and law. http://sac.clubspaces.com/PageCustom.aspx?id=29&o=269194 Thankfully, I heard that within the next year, all of the BSA products will be made in the US. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea. I really hope, though.

There have been a lot of posts on here saying that people aren't going to pay more for the American made uniforms over the chinese made uniforms. Bull****. I have had one of the old style American made uniforms for 5 years. It has gone through 8 1-week long camps as well as a Jamboree. That uniform shirt shows absolutely no sign of wear, just starting to get a little small. I have friends that bought the new chinese made uniform last year and it is already starting to fall apart. The velcro on the pockets fell off, the buttons come off, the BSA logo is peeling off. And the new uniform is only a couple less bucks than the old uniform and the old, American made uniform holds up for up to 5-10 times as long. Personally, I'd be willing to buy the old uniform over the new uniform even in the old uniform cost $50 and the new $20. For the quality that the American made uniform had, there is no comparison. Until the BSA makes all of their uniform parts in the United States of America, I do not intend to buy any parts of the uniform directly from Scoutstuff. I plan to continue to resort to ebay for the better quality old American made uniforms.
