The bladder has a straw that attaches to the shoulder strap and is a steady reminder to drink water. Carrying water in this manner is way more comfortable and handy than a Nalgene bottle. Closed cell pads are a must for cold weather camping, are pretty light but are bulkier than their inflatable counterpart making them just slightly less pack friendly. Don’t get me wrong, the closed foam, lightweight pad is and always will be a great all weather camping option. On a hot summer campout, I like to sleep on top of my bag in my liner for that perfect combination of cushy underneath and comfy light blanket on top.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the SAKs for an everyday pocket tool but not so much for camping and definitely not for kids. The SAK doesn’t lock into place – it can unexpectedly fold and cut an inexperienced whittler. And when the big blade gets dull; instead of sharpening it, kids just switch to the short blade, forcing it to do a job it wasn’t intended to do. From Swiss Army knives to rechargeable flashlights, shopping for a boy scout is really not very hard. Wondering what to give your son’s buddy but do know he’s a boy scout?

Thankfully the Nerf darts aren’t painful on impact and this is a fun toy to help a scout improve on his aim. A 12-year-old who sold more than $56,000 in popcorn through his Boy Scouts troop recently spent more than 20% of those earnings buying presents for children in foster care in his region of Minnesota, delivering one of the Christmas season’s most heartwarming stories. Inflatable sleeping pads are great for warm weather camping, they pack small, are super light but unless they're designed to fit inside the sleeping bag, they will sap heat when cold weather camping. For about the same price, a former den leader has designed this nifty version of lock blade and bundled it with an 11-function multi tool, fire starter, whistle and a tin to be converted into a first aid kit so this totally meets the “cool factor” for scouts. The knife even has a hole so it can attach to a keychain or lanyard making it especially hard to misplace. “We are going shopping to buy the Christmas presents for the foster care children and for the domestic violence shelter children,” the generous young man explained, noting his share of the award money will go toward those children.

It doesn’t mean you’ll feel like a gecko mid-day on a desert rock some clear sky afternoon. If your scout already has a knife, consider a piece for the sleeping system. Sleeping system has three main parts - the pad, the bag and the liner. Even with minimal care, each should last your scout into adulthood.

At Scout, we offer a curated collection of artisan goods and greeting cards. We strive to source from mindful brands and makers that align with our values of conscious consumption and intentional living. “I just want to make kids happy for Christmas and let them know they are loved and appreciated,” he explained. “I just want to … let them know they are loved and appreciated,” Werner said. The national popcorn sale held by the organization that aims to teach youngsters responsibility and self-reliance mainly through outdoor activities usually unfolds in the fall.

There are several versions of these - from 5 pieces to 8, but I like the one with the BSA logo because lunch is every day just like scouting recruitment efforts. The card features the iconic Eagle Scout emblem and comes with a high-quality and fine-printed design that is just fit for the occasion. The card comes with the words “Congratulations on earning Eagle Scout, Grandson” you can also add in a customized and personalized note at the back of the card to turn this into a very personal present for your grandson. Technically, there’s no “right” time to give your Scoutmaster a Thank-You gift. You could give them one every year if you and your troop would like to (I’m sure they’d appreciate it! 😛 ). However, there are a few common occasions where it’s more customary to present your troop’s adult volunteers with gifts as a way of saying thank you.

If you don’t want to do the research, The Black Diamond brand Storm 350 is a repeat Backpacker Magazine “best of” for several years. Some of these are for the kids, but we all know once a Scout, always a Scout. I know my husband and in-laws would love so many of these items for themselves.

For the older boy scout, a lightweight sleeping bag that compacts well with a backpack would be a great investment. Scoutmasters, adult volunteers, and committee members are the backbone of any Boy Scout troop. These individuals dedicate their time and energy towards creating great Scouting experiences for young people — all without the expectation of a reward! If a scout leader has helped you, I’d highly recommend expressing your gratitude by giving them a thoughtful, heartfelt gift. Perhaps, the aptest gift for any Eagle Scout, this survival kit is a necessary item for not just scouts but everyone in general.

If you can record it and give them a copy, this would be an incredible troop gift. A Custom Blanket to keep warm, whether they’re at home or camping. Email your troop and ask them to send you any good photos of the Scoutmaster they might have, alongside any group photos. You should try to get at least 10 photos showing different periods throughout the volunteer’s time with your troop.

Non-cotton socks aren’t exactly exciting to open but they’re the unsung heroes on just about every adventure. Nothing can cut a leader down like feet that are cold or developing blisters. Get a variety of weights from poly liners to the tried and true thick wool.

Morgan Miller shared on Instagram Tuesday that their son, Asher, was taken to the hospital after suffering what she described as a febrile seizure. "Life is constantly walking a knife edge and it's not something we are unfamiliar with," Morgan Miller wrote in an Instagram story, alongside a photo of her husband and their son. The thing with gift cards is they often lock the recipient into one store.

For most young people, being an Eagle Scout is all that they dream of. This achievement is so elusive and so rare that only a select few (in terms of %) have been able to attain this position. Jonathan Werner has been spending numerous hours selling bags of flavored popcorn and chocolate covered pretzels inside store entrances, telling prospective customers, “Hello, my name is Jonathan and I’m a Star Scout in Troop 506,” KARE 11 reported Monday. Werner also said that he likes to think that the money he raised and toys he bought were a chance to make “many … people happy during the holidays”. “It didn’t really sound like had much of a Christmas” growing up, Werner said of his father, Steve Kolk, who helped the popcorn-selling dynamo sort out his gifts by county at the wrapping party.

Charlie just started his first year of scouts and is officially a Cub Scout now – a Tiger Scout more specifically. During a recent gift-wrapping party, Werner stood near some of the presents and said they were worth approximately $11,300. He has always been a determined worker, according to his mother, Serena Kolk, who said he is there when the store opens and when it shuts down for the night. A 12-year-old Boy Scout in Minnesota is working hard to bless children he does not know during the Christmas season. He said he eventually wants to buy presents for every foster child in Minnesota. Jonathan Werner used about $11,300 of that amount to buy presents for every child in foster care in four Minnesota counties.

I was a Girl Scout for several years growing up, always went to camp for a few weeks in the summer, and generally enjoyed the program. This nutcracker comes in the form of an adorable Eagle Scout, complete with a flag in its hand! The nutcracker is designed to withstand some serious shells, so feel free to test it out with any nut of your choice. Its small and compact size makes it ideal for decorative purposes and practical use as well. Made from premium materials, this nutcracker will stay around for a long time without fading colors or becoming less effective.

While you can get socks just about anywhere, there’s few places to find official BSA socks. Roll out style kits are nice because not only do they instantly reveal their entire contents; in the wild they can double as a clean and sterile surface. If you’re getting one rain suit you want to last for multiple scouts, the PVC stuff is extremely durable. Be warned though it doesn’t breath well and can be heavy - but you’ll definitely get your $20 out of it. Thermarest sells chair rigging for their popular line of inflatable so your pad can also be your camp chair. Note the size of pad is a key factor in the chair rigging – too big or too small will not work.
