Super Scoutfits: It’s Time to Improve School Spirit
Here are some of the best outfits from last week’s USA-themed football game
September 10, 2021
I’m going to be completely honest here, you guys really need to step it up.
Although it’s very unsettling to talk about, we only have three more home football games this year. For us seniors, this is a pretty big deal.
I’d say about a third of the seniors have good school spirit this year, and that’s pretty disappointing. We should set an example for the future Scouts, and let the freshmen and sophomores get a sense of how to make the games fun.
I’m not fully blaming the upperclassmen for this lack of spirit. Freshmen and sophomores, you guys legitimately sit there the whole game in silence. Isn’t that boring? Embarrassing? Nothing?
Anyways, when I walked up to the freshmen/sophomore stands and started yelling to get loud, everyone stared at me.
I’m not just talking about getting super riled up in the stands, which is definitely something we need to work on. The main concern here is the fact that some of you throw on a t-shirt/sweatshirt and call it a night.
We have themes for a reason people! We need to follow them, and go all out!
There are no excuses. Party city is only 15 minutes away.
Last week, the theme was USA. This is such an easy theme to go all out for, and the only real spirit I saw was in the first few rows.
I was actually pretty impressed with the volume and excitement of these few rows, even though all of the girls were on one side, and the boys were on the other side. Sort of like a middle school dance!
Anyways, I did see a few “super Scouts” setting the perfect example of how to properly dress for football games.
First, we have Junior Annie Swift. Annie is sporting all aspects of red, white, and blue with her blue hat, white outfit, and red whistle to set it overboard. Great touch!
Really anyone could throw this together, but Swift sets herself apart in a few interesting ways.
First is her American flag cardigan/shawl which really unleashes her inner patriotism. Next we have the blue LED brim on the hat. Loving the flashiness. Saving the best for last, Annie showed up in giant, fuzzy leg warmers. Love the sparkly silver.
Based on this picture, you can tell Annie’s spirit is through the roof. Just look at how excited she looks!
Second, we have Senior Sydney Schaffer. Never showing up underdressed, Schafferhas on a white and blue top with red sparkly booty shorts.
She wears an American flag cape, red fishnet tights, and Nikes with accents of blue. She ties this all together with a crown sporting red, white, and blue.
Lastly, this little trio of gals really went all out.
Senior Jacqueline Rubin wears mostly white with accents or blue and red. Love it. She has on a cute American flag LF shirt, cut into a muscle tee which shows a red tank top under. She has on a white boa and white tutu. Lastly, the patriotic crown makes another appearance.
Senior Lyla Walsh has the perfect balance of red, white, and blue. She wears a blue lulu tank top and white tutu, and equals it all out with red knee socks. What really sets the outfit overboard is the USA trucker hat, so trendy!
Lastly, senior Abby Hanlon wears a muscle tee sweatshirt, which may or may not be giving off major 8th grade DC trip vibes. She pairs this with a white skirt under a red, white, and blue tutu.
Abby has red socks on and brings the outfit together with red, white, and blue hair ribbons.
I hope you all learned how to dress for the next football game, considering it’s TOMORROW! I would really appreciate it if you could go as hard as possible.
The theme is beach party so I recommend lots of floaties, goggles, coconut bras, etc. Stay tuned for next week where I will crown the super scouts of the beach themed game.
P.S. BOYS: you are really going to need to step it up if they want to be featured. No more plain t-shirts and shorts.

@Stop yelling at us if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The student section plays such a massive role in changing the momentum of home games and if you don’t want to participate in one of the best parts of high school, then by all means, leave. If you can’t take a beachball, you don’t need to be in the student section. We need people full sending and being crazy, not being intimidated by a weightless ball of plastic.

@Stop Yelling At Us! – Football games are more than a SOCIAL EVENT. The student section is there to support and cheer on the scouts. I disagree, the cheering should be continuous. Cheering, making noise, and school spirit is part of high school. This is how you make memories and have fun! I apologize for the f-bombs of my fellow upperclassmen, but this is high school. We are not in middle school anymore. The upperclassmen feel the need to yell at the lowerclassmen with megaphones so yall can hear us. We should be a family, and united, to support the rest of our school. Don’t come to football games to sit there at the top and talk with your friends. Be there to support our school as you would wish we would do the same for you!

Hey, Stop yelling at us! No one’s making you sit in the student section dude. I’m sorry that other people have made you uncomfortable, but at the same time, the student section is where people go to have fun and participate in the school spirit and weekly themes, which sometimes includes people throwing around beach balls. If you want to watch the game where you don’t have to worry about that sort of thing, maybe just don’t sit in the student section? Not that hard of a solution. And also, if you’re looking for peace and quiet, in a maybe don’t go to a FOOTBALL GAME.

“Anyways, when I walked up to the freshmen/sophomore stands and started yelling to get loud, everyone stared at me.” Yeah, because it was obnoxious and rude. No one likes to be yelled at in their faces with a megaphone. Not to mention you or your friends were swearing (f-bombs) at people and weren’t nice about it at all. I don’t know if you’re talking about the Carmel or Stevenson game but at the Stevenson game you were yelling about the gap in the stands, too. The gap was because some people don’t like to sit where they can get Gatorade bottles and beach balls chucked at theirs heads. I saw people get up and leave the student section and sit somewhere else because they were sick of being yelled at. We do cheer and get loud whenever we score points or make a good play, but it doesn’t have to be continuous. The fact that kids are coming to games to show support means a lot, especially after the past year and a half. By criticizing other students, you’re showing a lack of school spirit yourself. Give us a break.
