Telescope

Stargazing has been a pastime of man since he first looked up at night. You can tell your scout patrol that they are looking at stars, planets and satellites, but with a telescope you can show them up close the differences and how to tell those heavenly bodies apart. We offer many fine telescopes starting with the Tasco brand lower priced models and going all the way to those very expensive, super high quality Bushnell models. If you do not have the money for that $2200 telescope that is all right, I would have to order it anyway, it is not in stock. Buy a less expensive model telescope. The Bushnell Voyager Sky Tour Telescope series is a very good mid-range price telescope.

Binoculars

Getting close to nature with a scout troop or even just a scout patrol is next to impossible. They are just too many o them and they are too noisy. If you can not get the boy scout troop up next to nature do the next best thing, bring nature to them with a set of binoculars.
A good set of binoculars is not very expensive and be used not only to look at the wildlife, but can bring that next ridge into focus.
We offer binoculars from Tasco and Bushnell.

Radios and Radio Accessories

If you have every taken a scout troop to camp or on a hike you know the problem of communication. Where is your other leader and the patrol he was with during camp wide games? How far ahead of you on the trail is the leader? Even just one pair of hand held radios can make communication so much easier. Remember, until the novelty wears off your scout troop will go through the batteries, so keep the batteries charged. Once the novelty wears off and they are used to having radios, your scout troop will start using them for amazing communications. We have a selection of Midland radios and radio accessories for you to choose from.

GPS Navigation Systems

At the beginning of this page, we introduced a scenario of the patrol leaders council finding out about geo-caching. This is not really a new idea, but has become more popular with the improvement of handheld GPS Navigation Systems. If your scout troop has those boys who do not want to hike because it is boring, introduce them to geo-caching. Geo-caching can make many a boy scout take an interest in hiking. Then the best way to locate most geo-caches is by using handheld GPS navigation systems. We offer several models of GPS navigation systems, most by Bushnell. TIP: You can use these things to find your way home too.
