Gifts for Cub Scouts


Recommended Posts

This year we had a great popcorn sale and are ending the year with a little extra money, so we thought we'd buy something for the boys to have. A few years ago this happened and we bought all the boys a compass and lanyard. The compass had the scouts logo on it and we had the lanyards personalized with our pack info. Too bad it hasn't been long enough to do that again.

 

So, this year we're trying to think of something else we could give. One idea was a mini mag-lite flashlight that we personalize with our pack info again. Another is a metal water bottle that could likewise be personalized. Does anyone have any ideas on what to get or where to get something like that from?

Kids always like flashlights, so they'd love the mini mag-lites. They also don't usually care if something has fancy engraving, so you could probably just buy the flashlights on sale somewhere and have someone neatly paint their names on them.

They'd have to have a license through BSA to put BSA or Cub scout logo but you could still put you pack number on it.

If you didn't want to spend as much as the mag lights you could do patches as well with the year and pack number, etc.

I like the medal mugs.

Do you have pack t-shirts already? If not you could do those gratis or do a redesign and have a contest for the kids to design them.- maybe hats too??

One thing to cautionas lots of these promo itmes look cook they sometimes are not very durable.

We do already have t-shirts and thanks for reminding me about the limitation with the BSA logos. Some of the ideas I've been tossing around are below. BTW, you'll go crazy searching for promo items on the web.

 

I do kinda like the idea of having a special T-Shirt design contest, but I think the committee is set on buying a "thing" that hopefully they could keep for a while, like the compasses.

Maybe not for this gift, but to promote a fishing activity these would be cool!
