In looking for troop equipment, we came across Alps Mountaineering.
They have a Scout program that provides a 45% discount off of their retail price.
As they do not have stores that sell their equipment locally, they will sell direct.
The tents are well made, sturdy, and made to withstand the abuse of young Scouts.
We purchased 10 a year ago and are adding another 7 as our troop grows.
While not light weight tents, we purchased the Taurus 3 Outfitter with reinforced floors, heavier poles and stronger zippers.
They also sell light weight backpacking tents that compare to name brand.
The tents are better made and already lower cost. Add the discount and these are great bargains I thought you might like to send the attached info on for other Scouts as another source for good equipment.
Thanks,
