Should I wear my Uniform?

I have been invited to the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards in recognition of my 5 year award with scouting. The invitation states Business Attire. I have never been so I am wondering if I should wear my uniform?

Thanks!

Wear your uniform with Pride. The award you are receiving in recognition for Scouting service , so wear it with pride.

That was the direction I was leaning, but I just wanted to make sure. I would hate to show up and either 1) be the only person in uniform or 2) be the only scouter NOT in uniform...

I agree with mrsmagoo. If the award is for your work with Scouting, it is 100% right to wear the uniform. Even if you are the only person if uniform, I don't see why that would be a problem.

Allow me to disagree with you all. While I would be most proud to wear my uniform, the invitation SPECIFIES: Business Attire. If you want you can also verify Dress Protocol: http://www.gg.ca/honours/pdf/wearing_e.pdf

I was correct to go in uniform. All members of Scouts present were in uniform

Great Fierce.... I have been wrong before and would have been the only Scouter not in uiform :cry: :cry:

I guess it's always best to listen to what your heart says. Congratulations on the Award also. Well done.
