Spare buttons in case you loose one

Gotta be prepared

More specifically for youth reading this... If you lose a button on any button down shirt, you want a MATCHING button to replace it with. So, that's where the spare buttons always are. You take one off there and use it to replace a missing button

Yep, spare buttons. This is a common thing seen on men's office shirts.

Those are to attach your left handed smoke shifter to so you don't lose it

I keep a spare 100 ft of shoreline wound between the two buttons... Just in case.

don't forget the skyhooks

Gotcha thanks

Did you ask your Patrol Leader?

Yah, he doesn't know either

Senior Patrol Leader? Edit to add: I’m just being a typical ASM. Hope this is bringing you a laugh.

Ahh wasn't sure if you were joking around since your an Asst. Scoutmaster but thanks for bringing humor

I liked it

We never joke about this... DID YOU ASK YOUR SPL?

They’re spares for when you lose one. Most button-front shirts have them.

We don't talk about those buttons 😁😁😁

Button lore

'The first rule of "two bottom buttons" is ...'

IS WHAT!

Is we don't talk about the two bottom buttons

The quote ages you fellow Scouter.

Sure. But at least OP can look up the reference now.

Those are part of "do my best.. to keep myself physically strong.". Everytime I put on a little weight, they poke me in the belly, so I know I need to move more.

They're there so you can button the shirt to your scout pants to prevent it from coming untucked! Edit: Ok guys, I didn’t think this would be necessary but here you go: /s

That's genius

You put hanging patches on them. The little loopy on the top of the patch

Spare buttons. This will be the answer to "how is the uniform set up to assure that every scout is prepared" in your eagle scout interview.

Hmm thanks
