To get an idea of pricing, or to order items online, visit http://www.scoutstuff.org. This is the official online scout shop. They should have the same prices as our local scout shop.
Patches You don't need to Buy:
Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your scout earns will be awarded (at no additional cost) during Pack Meetings. You may need to sew them on, but they are provided. A diamond patch holder is available at the Scout Shop to reduce sewing needs.
Where to Purchase Items:
Before most Pack Recognitions we make a trip to the Scout Shop. You might contact the Advancement Chair if you need a patch or two - we might be able to save you a trip and pick them up for you at our cost. You are also welcome to order any needed items online or however you like.
