And lastly, here is this week's training segment, brought to you by Wear Your Scouting Uniform Day. This year, as with every year, anyone, youth and adults are welcome and encouraged to wear their uniforms this coming Tuesday, February 8th. I understand this may leave some confusion about what to do, so allow me to break it down.
Anyone who has a uniform should wear their uniform as fully as their uniform can be worn on Tuesday, February 8th. The steps to completing participation in Wear Your Uniform Day are as follows:
Step 1. Get your uniform into your hands.
Step 2. Remove any non-clothing items from your uniform that may exist, including but not limited to a hanger.
Step 3. Prepare your uniform for placement on your body, including but not unlimited to unbuttoning your uniform.
Step 4. Place your uniform on the appropriate part of your body, including but not limited to your torso.
Step 5. Fasten your uniform to your body, including but not limited to re-buttoning your uniform.
Step 6. Do everything you were already going to do on Tuesday, February 8th, in your uniform.
Step 7. Take a picture of yourself in your uniform on Tuesday, and email it to Jacob.brown@scouting.org with a brief explanation of where you were and what you were doing.
Don't have a full uniform? Wear a Scouting-related shirt, jacket, belt, hat, or any combination thereof instead. Represent Scouting while wearing a less uniform uniform. After all, some uniform is better than no uniform when you're trying to be uniform.
Should you have any uniform questions about Wear Your Scouting Uniform day, please rewind this clip and watch it again to get the most uniform answers.
And that's a wrap for this week's 3 minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! We'll see you next week.
