How to Find a Scout Shop Near You
Every Scout knows how important (and super awesome!) it is to have access to a Scout Shop. Whether you need to purchase new gear for a camping trip, uniform patches, or merit badge pamphlets to help you earn your Eagle Scout rank, having a local Scout Shop can be incredibly convenient. However, if you're new to Scouting or have recently moved to a new area, you might wonder how to find a Boy Scouts of America store near you. Here are some tips to help you locate your nearest Scout Shop!
Do you need help finding a Scout Shop? Use Our Store Locator!
The first place to start your search is online. Of course, you can find all the camping gear and uniform items you need at ScoutShop.org—but visiting a physical store is a great opportunity to see and touch a product before purchasing. You can try on uniforms and ensure they fit properly without dealing with the hassle of returning items that don't work!
The BSA website has a helpful tool called the Store Locator that allows you to search for the Scout Shop nearest to you. Simply go to the ScoutShop.org website and click the "Stores" tab at the top of the page. From there, you can enter your zip code or city and state to find the nearest store. This tool will also provide you with the address, phone number, and hours of operation for each shop.
Once you have a list of potential Scout Shops to visit, you may want to call the shop and speak to a Scouting expert. It's okay to ask about their inventory, pricing, and the store's return policy on items like uniforms and backpacks. It's also a great time to ask an expert if you want something specific or need a recommendation! Scout Shop stores often have great deals on clearance items if you're going to browse their inventory!

When you're ready to visit your local Scout Shop, check their hours. Many stores are closed on Sundays and holidays, so plan accordingly. It's also a good idea to bring a list of the items you need and any measurements or specifications for custom items. This will help you stay focused and ensure you don't forget anything.
