Dear Scouts,

I have been asked about how to order the non-scout shop pants that the troop has approved for use at troop activities.  The pants are available on-line at several companies including BDU.com and Georgia-outfitters.com.  I am not recommending one company over the others.  The main thing is to compare price and availability.  You need to order 100% rip-stop cotton olive drab pants that meet the mil-spec MIL-T-44047E.
