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

Flag comes sewn onto shirt already.

Any Rank Advancement, Adventure or Participation Badge, Patch, Pin or Belt Loop that your boy earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew on patches, but they are provided.

Where to Purchase Items

Before most pack meetings 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. You are also welcome to order any needed items online or however you like.

Here is a link to info on our Scout Shops.
