Cubs on parade -thoughts

Many of us at young age feel the need to "belong" and for some it can be things like scouting.

It's kind of funny in a way but in Scotland it's quite common for boys in Scouts to wear kilts on parade and at camps too with no questions but just cross the border and anything like a kilt or skirt option just does not exist.

I think one issue in Scouts is they remain stuck with the modernization agenda of 1967 that removed except for cubs the cap and shorts which went much later going for long trousers and a more "street cred" brand although they went co-ed too.

Putting in shorts or skort options especially for Beavers, the added to six to eight year old section as well as Cubs where there is more physical activity would of made more sense as feeling comfortable increases the amount of activity boys and especially girls undertake while allowing their skin to breath more.

It also would of allowed a any individual to express a bit more personal identity within a uniform being no different than many schools.

Hardy footwear really should in their too to support the feet and suited to being outdoors.
