If Boy Scouts never chose a uniform, it would have been very hard for them to get their reputation for above-average conscientiousness and obedience to authority.
Eh, more the first than the second. Obedience to authority is something you can demonstrate by showing up and obeying; conscientiousness is mostly demonstrated when you do things while no one is watching and they are the things you’d do if someone was watching.
Especially the second one.

Do things while you believe falsely that no one is watching. Otherwise it’s impossible to prove conscientiousness.
Though, since beliefs aren’t externally apparent… it gets complicated quickly.
