Boys’ Life Backs Alps
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
When I first heard about I passed the word on through this blog and I’ve been posting those updates from time to time. Boys’ Life Gear Guy is also passing on the word.
Q: I actually don’t have a question. Just wanted to tell fellow Boys’ Life readers that Alps Mountaineering gives all Boy Scouts a 45 percent discount off list price on outdoor equipment on their website.

A: Everybody loves to save cash on gear. And Barry is exactly right, guys. Alps sells good quality backpacks, tents and sleeping bags and gives Scouts a savings of 45 percent off their normal retail prices. You can check out their stuff at www.alpsmountaineering.com or go straight to their Scouts-only website at www.scoutdirect.com. The good old fashion phone works too, if that’s more your speed: 1-800-344-2577.
There you go.
