Discounts on Scout Gear
I came across this discount from a small business whose owner supports
scouting by offering a 10% discount to scouts and leaders, and a larger
discount for larger group orders. I have bought from them in the past. Their gear is good. -Hilary Thornton You may want to mention that (I think, not positive) that both REI
and Hodge Army Navy will give 10% discount for scouts – probably best to
bring your id card and ask. -Kris Cook |
