Scouts here in America do wear their uniform as well, up to a certain point.
When I was in Cub Scouts, we all wore our uniform to school the day of cub den
meeting which was usually right after school. The time frame of this was
grades 4 and 5. At middle school, when we joined Boy Scouts, the school
enviroment is different, so students don't wear their uniforms
Even though scouts here in the United States don't sit outside of school
helping their fellow classmates across the street, we are no less helpful to
others in out community. Many of the ranks required for Eagle require helping
others in their community service projects and when I was working for my Eagle
Project last year, other younger scouts did a great deal to help out. The role
of scouts in service to the local community is still strong. For a local
example, the council I am involved in that is just north of San Francisco, we
participate in a "Scouting for Food" drive where troops raise literally tons of
food to be distributed locally.
Teachers in uniform, given the present society and Political Correctness would
be an impossibility. I don't know any teachers who are leaders in Cub/Boy
Scouts, but I do know several who are against Boy Scout Policy.
Finally I would like to add that scouts here in the US still are committed and
still do respect their uniform.
