The perfect gift...GIFT CARDS for the Scout Shop or Goose Pond Trading Post, now available in any amount!

If you haven't been to our Scout Shop recently, you're going to be in for a big surprise! We've made a concerted effort to have a more complete inventory and are carrying more items than we ever have before. We've worked very hard at trying to have the items you'll need to run you program in stock and available when you need them. And, if for some reason we're out of an item, it won't be very long before it's in. Inventory is replenished more frequently now and that means that we're more likely to have whatever you need. It's our commitment to you to have what you need, when you need it!
