InDepthAutoDetailing Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 So we signed my son up for Boy Scouts. It's a great thing for him since he likes for things to be structured. He's really looking forward to earning all the badges. Now for the rant. We had to go buy him a uniform shirt, hat, and belt. No big deal. It says on the shirt and hat "Boy Scouts of America". if you look at the tag inside, the shirt says "Made in Bangledesh", the hat "Made in China". ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Surely they could find a "MADE IN USA" uniform. I'm sure if I inquired they would say the other stuff is cheaper. End rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Man, that's unacceptable. The media ought to make a big stink about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The Boy Scouts actually started out in Britain and then moved to the USA. They're now world wide, so the fact that their shirts,etc are made elsewhere doesn't surprise me too much. Matter of fact, if you look at their whole catalog (tents, canteens, etc) there is very little made here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Well recently we found some of my Older Brother's BS uniforms, badges, ribbons and his Soap Box Derby cars. The uniforms he had were Made In America but that was back in the late 60's. How times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black69 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 With the exception of Adams, there is not a lot of items made in the USA anymore. Sad to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
