Terrible idea. I'll never buy one. If this is any indication of what GIBSA will look like, I might change my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridgeskip Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If it works out anything like here no one will buy them. There is a uniform skirt for girls but in all my years I've seen precisely one adult wear it and not a single solitary youth member. Your girls will go for the shorts and trousers I'm sure!

Very considerate, btw thanks to @ZScout5 for the advanced notice. Have at it, happy face or sad face, I won't take it personal only business. http://www.scoutstuff.org/bsa/items/skort-cs-6-12.html#.Wk-Hd3VMHqA Edited January 5, 2018 by RememberSchiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa Turtle Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think one fear traditionalists have is National will treat lasses differently than the lads. Take heart! This is proof that National Supply can provide ugly and poorly functional items for ALL scouts. But after spending a lot of time around the same school-age girls around here at least they are not spandex bike shorts with a pink "Scouts" across the backside. Skorts seem to have some modesty to them. I pray that National will have the fortitude in 2019 to forsake scout yoga pants with "You Go Girl" on the posterior. GSUSA would fume about that! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 BSA use to sell skorts for female Scouters. They were not popular at all, and hated counting them when doing end of year inventories. So glad when they got rid of them. Only lady I saw who wanted a skirt or dress was my wife. And that was only because she HATES the tan and green uniform, and didn't like the old Yellow and Blue one. When she saw the 1950s/60 Den Mother's dress, she fell in love. Otherwise she wants her Venturing green and grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJCubScouter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I really, really hope they don't do this for the Boy-Scout-age program. There is no need for it. The green pants will look just as ugly on the girls as they already do on the rest of us. But there is more than a fashion aspect to this. My main concern about "coed" especially at the 11-17 age level has always been the "distraction" issue. I have seen what happens when there is a girl in the room at a troop meeting, usually an older sister of one of the Scouts. Half the boys turn into blithering idiots and you start to hear the famous last words, "Hey, watch this!" And that is when the girl is wearing long pants. We really don't need to run an experiment on what happens when the girls are wearing a skirt (or even a skort.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom rocked that Den Mother's dress back in '72. Very formal looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 There is a green skirt for female adult leaders, right? I think I have seen it worn once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys don't wear uniform pants, why would girls be any different? Edited January 5, 2018 by Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
