How Do We Make Uniforming A Viable Method?

[walk in the woods]

 

My logic is this.....

if it's ok to let the troop decide that they have class B, class C, or class J uniforms.... and letting them define what those mean.... and calling them scout uniforms

How is that any different than the scouts coming together and stating that they hereby change some element of the scout law so that it is more applicable to them?

 

That said, we do have operating experience with just this idea in the Venturing program.  Crews basically define their own uniforms with the official field uniform being optional.  Why couldn't we push that model down a level?  I've only dealt with a few crews and they've mostly used the lack of field uniform as a recruiting tool.
