Welcome to Scout Supplies!

There is nothing that builds character in a child quite like scouting. Whether its your daughter selling her first box of girl scout cookies or your son participating in his pack's pinewood derby it is part of a journey that will help your young cub or daisy grow into strong and confident young adults and future leaders in their community.

In today's times, many people choose to fill their children's lives with so many meaningless activities that they really have no time for the things that matter. Values, friendship, education.

Allowing your son or duaghter to participate in scouting will give them experiences to take with them for their whole life that they will never forget. They will learn things that are helpful to their community as well as learn things about nature and survival. 43% of adult males that participated in boy scouts as a youth said that they have used things that they learned about in scouting during real life situations years later in life.

Scouting is an opportunity for your child to learn about and try new things. They will learn to provide service to others, build confidence in skills that are important to the environment and to others, and reinforce ethical standards. These attributes that your son or daughter will learn as a child are more than likely going to be carried on throughout their adult life, helping to make them a better person and also improve their family life, friendships, relationships, community leadership, and the overall values by which they live. In a 2005 study, 87% of men that were in the scouts for five years or longer admit that at least some of their self confidence that they have today came from the things that they learned in the scouts, and that the scouts had a positive effect on their relationships and career.

Of this study, the men said that the benefits they learned from the cub scouts and boy scouts were to be loyal to your family and spending time with their loved ones had made them a better father and/or husband. 89% of these surveyed men felt that being helpful came more from their own interest than a feeling of obligation to be helpful, while 78% said that they felt that their neighbors and other respected them more because they were friendly toward them instead of hostile.

The top three benefits that are most commonly reported by men that remained in the scouts for five or more years is that they feel they learned to be more money conscientious. They feel that they can save money better than those that were not taught thriftiness as a small child. Obedience was the second most commonly reported benefit, stating that they stayed on track while in school and didn't fall into the "bad" crowd or succumb to peer pressure. And lastly, the benefit that is most commonly reported as being attributed to the boy scouts is cleanliness. Not only cleanliness in themselves but in a desire to take better care of the environment and taking an interest in physical fitness and personal hygiene.
