Army Bill Amended to Protect Boy Scout Uniforms
Chief Scout Executive James E. West pressured Congress to amend Section 125 of the new Army bill to allow Boy Scouts to wear their uniforms. The revised Sec 125 bans wearing Army style parts by nonmilitary wearers while creating exceptions for National Guard and certain allied groups. The change aims to avoid penalizing Scouts for patriotic uniforms and to ensure War Department supervision over uniform design.
