replacement shirt buttons

[Fishsqueezer 10]

I have been checking all over the internet and scout sites and cannot find a source for replacement shirt buttons with the scout logo. My youngest son lost 4 buttons during a capture the flag game so the spares on the shirt tail were not enough. I was hoping not to have to rob his brothers and my shirts to fix it. Does everyone just use brown off-the-shelf buttons as replacements? Why wouldn't the scout supply shop carry regular buttons? They have Sea Scout buttons so why not standard buttons!

Fishsqueezer,

 

The Scout mending kit has replacement uniform buttons, but you have to buy the entire mending kit for about $5.00. Check it out:

You can order a mending kit from scoutstuff.org http://tinyurl.com/3bqpm2, or you could have your scout shop order it for you.

Thanks for the help. I didn't think about looking for a mending kit.

I have a number of shirts with spare buttons. PM me your address and I'll send you some.

I know that my Scout shop keeps all of the buttons on returend shirts and gives them out to those who ask.

I use an eBay seller called First Class Scout Shop. They sell lots of replacement buttons
