I went to this store with my son to purchase a shirt, handbook, and neckerchief. This was our first experience with boy scouts, and I was shocked by my interaction. The employee (associate #56505) who was "helping" kids with shirts is clearly paid on commission. After picking out a shirt and badges, he tried to tell us we needed to buy $55 pants. I showed him the e-mail from our den leader, which clearly stated what we needed and pants were not required. I also told him my son is very petite for his age so I didn't want to buy a bunch of clothes that he won't be able to wear very long My son then asked if we could purchase a hat, and we went to the register to check out. The bill was $133 for a shirt, two badges, a baseball-style hat, a neckerchief, and a handbook. After I paid, the associate then tried to sell us a belt and told me all about why we "needed" this nylon belt. I told him we were good after spending $133 on what we needed, after which he chuckled. I was annoyed when I left the store, but on my way home my son asked me, "why didn't you buy me pants and a belt"? I explained to my seven year old what it means to interact with a sales person who is paid on commission. To be clear, my family is not struggling financially, but this associate made me feel like I was disappointing my son because I didn't want to spend another $74 on a pair of pants and a belt, which would have sent the bill above $200. I can't imagine how belittling it would be for someone who is really struggling financially to get by. I understand the scouts overcharge for store goods in order to generate a profit for their executives, but this is really a disgrace.

Need cords for Highschool graduation. In stock and ready to pickup. Grabbed some new stickers for the car and saw a line of new camping and cookware. Will have to come back for some spring camping trips

Not the friendliest folks. Nothing worse then when your are new to something (scouts) and people treat you like you are and bothering them. Wish I could just order online.
