I never tell my boys the stuff from national is crap. What I do do is show
them what I have gotten over the years and where it came from. Some of it has
come from the scout shop and some from the local retailers. I tell my boys
that they should get the best they can for the $$ on items that will be with
them for a long time ( Sleeping bags, Backpacks, etc). I also tell them to
get the lowest priced item if they are going to outgrow it soon. If they take
the time and shop the newspaper ads, they can do very well for themselves and
NOT be forced to pay for everything just to have the BSA label.
