Novelty Bead Source(s)?

[catew]

Our troop uses a leather fob with leather lacing to hold beads which denote activities a boy has participated in. We are running low on our bead supply and no one can remember the original source. I have spent about 8 hours searching online and I can't find what we need, although it does seem that other troops are doing a similar sort of program.

 

Does anyone know where I can order a hiking boot bead? Or a canoe bead?

 

Any help appreciated!

My council's scout shop sells beads like that, I think - maybe check with your scout shop? Even if they don't carry the beads you want, they might be able to put you in contact with some suppliers who carry what you want.

Perhaps you could contact some of the other Troops you found online who were doing a similar program.

They are very reputable, give a scout discount if purchasing over a certain amount (I believe it's $150 now)and are a better source for OA supplies that Grey Owl IMHO ( although I do want that beaded sash with legend G.O. has!)

Our council's scout shop sells both canoe and boot beads. Someone once told me they get these from a company called Ozark Campfire in Belton, MO.

I googled them and they don't have a site but you can find contact information for them.
