Welcome!

Troop Quotes was originally started as a Twitter account in which Boy Scouts and members of the Venturing, BSA program could get a laugh at common thoughts and ideas, along with quotes from fellow scouts, and yet could share there scouting memories. While the Twitter account remains true to those values, this blog is more. This blog gives you honest experiences and lessons learned by scouts, both adult leaders and youth leaders, along with awesome ideas for camping and activities. So welcome to the all new Troop Quotes!

Uniforms and Scouts

Why are full uniforms in scouting so important? Here is a list of reasons why scouts should wear their uniform loud and proud!

1) A scout troop is like a team. You wouldn't even be allowed to play a sport if you didn't have your jersey with you. Even high school bowling teams have their own uniforms, and they all must be followed.

2) It shows respect for the scouting program. It shows that boy scouts have an honor to keep, that their legacy lives on through every single scout, and that we are all unified by a uniform that represents the ideals of scouting.

3) It shows others who we are. If your scout troop, crew, or patrol is traveling or is at, say, Six Flags, it lets people know that your scouts, and they usually think more of you than just being a group of boys running around.

There are plenty more reasons why a uniform is important, but this is just few on why we should be so proud to call it ours.
