adamdrew Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I find myself in a perdicament here, and I hope there is someone out there that can direct me to some affordable help. I would like to own a pair of scout shorts. That's the basic need. I have three criteria that I am quite particular on that makes my quest a bit of a challenge. I am tall, I am female, I am cheap. (hey! I'm a scouter, threfore I'm on a budget!) I need knee-length shorts,the BSA does not sell long enough shorts. (prefrer inseam 13") I have hips, 42", and a waist, 36". I dont want to pay $45 for new womens pants that need to be altered, but I am willing to work on a pair of men's pants (or women's) if I can find some used and worn that will 'give' to my female conture. Our community does not favor "full uniform" as the standard, so I have not been able to find a uniform bank or thrift store with scout pants available. Once someone buys/inviests in a pair, because they are true Scouters, they hold onto them for dear life. I am open for advise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda J Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Check resale shops in your area. I have been lucky in picking up pants and shorts for both myself and Kevin. Got him three pair of shorts in May for about $4.00 each. My last pants were $6.00,and they looked like they had never been worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerchild Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Check ebay. I usually find some good prices there. My last pair was only $5.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
