Where to buy your equipment:
​
The Scout Shop. 544 Broadway, Massapequa. (516) 797-0574
The staff is very patient, and is well-skilled in properly fitting first-time scouts. It's the only brick-and-mortar location where your son can actually be fitted for Official BSA equipment.
ScoutStuff.org. Everything available at the Scout Shop is available online. SKUs are provided below to help you order. Free shipping is available for most orders exceeding $125.
​
REI. 144 Glen Cove Rd., Carle Place, (516) 873-8540
