Buying Scout Supplies
Boy Scout uniforms, patches, and supplies can be purchased at an official BSA Scout Shop or a distributor of BSA merchandise. The BSA Scout Shop Locater website can be used to find all of the Scout shops and distributors in a specific area:
http://www.scoutstuff.org/retail/store-locator
In addition to uniforms, most Scout Shops also sell outdoor apparel, camping equipment, gifts, and a variety of other scout items including merit badge books and supplies. ScoutStuff.org is the official BSA online retail store. It sells the same items that are found in Scout Shops.
ScoutStuff.org can also be visited for free forms and documents, including uniform checklists, merchandise catalogs, and Scouting newsletters.
Other shops such as Christian bookstores and farm supply stores (especially in remote areas) may sell scouting uniform parts and books. (They don't sell advancement badges though.) Also, Goodwill or Salvation Army stores are often a great resource, especially for buying camping equipment and/or uniforms when boys are growing.
