RE: [Philmont]: Not Kilts

No paramilitary or military gear (remember the camo rule) is to be worn in
sanctioned scouting activities. Not sure if pith helmets would qualify.
Also, what advantages/disadvantages are there wearing them. Seems to me
they are heat collectors and have no way to dissipate moisture.

Good evening.

I have a Scout who wants to wear a pith helmet at Philmont. Actually, he
wants the whole crew to wear pith helmets at Philmont, but Mr. Palmer will
wear his Tilley hat, thank you.

Can the group think of any pros and cons of this headgear, the pith helmet?

Hey, this question is no more unusual than the discussion of kilts.

Thanks.
