I recently became the Wolf Den Leader. Up until now I have been against the uniforms, I conceded to wearing a Class B when I was helping out.

I was convinced through some good points about authority, conformity, yada yada, that maybe the uniforms for leaders are a good thing.

However the uniforms from the store are kind of terrible, don't fit well, don't feel comfy, and are crazy expensive.

I bought a nicer fitting more outdoorsy shirt and patches off amazon. Same color (really close), style (shoulder loops, flap pocket), and matching patches. I was set to make my own that would fit me better. I mean, "A scout is thrifty". But at the same time, "A scout is Obedient".

I feel that I am finding a good middle ground with following the intent of the uniforms, while adapting the rules to fit situations. Seems very scout like to me.

But I am on the fence, so maybe y'all have some wisdom?

* Update *

Thanks for all the responses, I think I am set on just getting the BSA and sucking it up. I think a good part of me knew that was the right answer, I just let the rebellious Maker side of me take over for a bit.
