      Foot lockers for summer camp?

      By Arkie · Posted

      We ask Scouts to get these at The Home Depot for around $10 for trips to summer/winter camp and other extended trips.  27 gallon size.  They stack nicely in the trailer for easy transport/access.

      Foot lockers for summer camp?

      By Jameson76 · Posted

      Our troop uses these, about $30.  EVERYTHING needs to fit in the trunk.  They show up for camp with a trunk and a daypack for the trip to camp.  Helps with packing and moving goods to site.  Can be used in tents (camp has the 2 person platform tents), keeps things dry if they actually close it, can be a table a seat, etc.

      cleaning OA sash

      By HashTagScouts · Posted

      I have a vintage sash that was fairly grungy when it was given to me. I didn't want to get it pristine white, but I did want to take out some of the mildewy smell from it to be able to wear it without everyone knowing I was there the moment I walked into a room. Your sash is probably the gauze like material, with the merrowed border all around- I would avoid using a washing machine on it. I took an old travel mug that had a top that sealed on well, and filled it about half full with a solution that was three parts warm water and one part bleach with a small dash of Tide- rolled the sash up like an Ace bandage, put in the container, put the lid on and agitated it for a few minutes and then let it soak for about an hour. Pulled it out after and just ran it under cold water to rinse and then let it hang over the shower curtain rod to drip dry. It's fairly white now. I would suggest this method before resorting to anything more drastic.
