RE: [Philmont]: Uniform

RE: "I'm getting some push back from some of the boys"
I've met these boys! They're the same boys who take chocolate bars into
their sleeping bags, because they've learned somewhere along the line that
the rules don't apply to them. Unfortunately, if they're still whining
about uniforms by the time they're old enough to go to Philmont, it's no use
fighting this battle -- the fact that they think they have a choice says it
all. Just let them know that it might be better for crew morale if they
dropped out now.
