Boy Scouts of America has come out with a new uniform to celebrate 100 years of Boy Scouts in the United States. The biggest thing is that, like Visine, "they take the red out" - so the uniform is all green. Check out the new Centennial Uniform here. This inspired me to make a trip to the Needlework Shoppe in Westport to check out their supply of Wildfoote sock yarn in solid colors. I'm not quite ready to switch to the no red theme - so I bought both colors (at least for now).
We have a big Scouting weekend - just 3 Scouts and yours truly. We've been elected to the Order of the Arrow and this weekend is our Ordeal. It promises to be an interesting experience. Wish us luck. I might be convinced to knit the all green socks.
I think the new uniforms look great. You'll love the zip off legs on the pants. I wear those a lot for fishing and hiking.

Nice! But, like you, I like the red and olive. I knit and felted Vicki Square's Monk Satchel out of bright red and olive green.I even call it the Scout bag because the colors were inspired by my early '70s girl scout uniform.
