The Ottawa, Ontario location for the Scout Shop (National Flagship Store)
has a listed phone number of (613) 224 0139. The fax number above is
correct.

!999/2000 catalogue lists a $6.00 flat fee for S&H. Further down the order

subtotal of items ordered *plus* the S&H fee. Remittance must accompany all
orders, money orders and certified cheques payable to Scouts Canada in
Canadian funds.
Taxes and duties? You would do well to call or fax one of the 56 Scout Shops
