Switchbacks™ Official Uniform Pants

Hey everyone: BSA has finally come out with a uniform pant that I think all of you will find a very good deal from a lot of aspects. First of all, it is a convertible so you will get the shorts and pants for one price. Second, it is a very attractive price at $39.95. (Don't balk at that, I saw what you guys spend on slushies) If you bought the current pants and shorts it would almost double that price!! Next, you get some nice camping features back like cargo pockets. If you go to REI or other high end stores for backpacking gear, this is the type of pant you will see on the racks priced starting at $40.00 and going up from there!!!! This is the same design many of us wore at Philmont but now available as an official uniform pants. If you have not purchased your pants or shorts as of yet or if you are ready for a size change, this is a great way to go. Remember, you are suppose to be in full uniform which includes the pants and this will fill the bill. Of course, any official uniform part ever produced by BSA always counts as an official uniform part so your old stuff is not obsolete because of a new style. I just talked to the people at our Scout Center store. They have the pants and they are selling very well so check it out!!

Permission Form Due Dates

Effective immediately we will begin enforcing the due dates for permission forms. As a general rule the permission forms will be due the second Tuesday before the outing. This change is necessary to allow us to get an accurate count of boys attending so we can plan transportation and meals in advance.
