Resources

These resources will help you start to assemble the gear for your scout.  Shop around for the best deals, talk to the adults in the troop as to where they shop.  There are plenty of brand alternatives out there at substancial discounts.

I encourage the parents of the troop to get togeather and pass down outgrown items that are still in good shape to scouts that can still wear them.

Here is a partial list of where we shop:

Gold Dust Scout Shop
