I actually think the flat bill looks great, and I am 44 years old. I am sure that scouts, like regular Joes, have things they like and dislike. I try to teach my son to do well in school, be polite, talk to adults, look them in the eye, play the game the right way, etc. etc. Wearing a flat bill or using a roller bag are not 2 items that I am concerned with. (My son does neither.)
