As a scout shop employee at a National Store, I find the comments about inventory troubling. The store I work at stocks about 90% of what is in the catalog. ( at least one each of the more expensive items) Rank advancement items are usually in stock unless they are back ordered from National Supply in North Carolina. We also have a network of 5 other stores in two states to find items that we don't have for our customers. Our turn around time if we don't have the item or enough stock is usually two days. As to the answer about ordering and keeping an appropriate amount of patches in stock, that is up to the store manager and territory manager to see that that happens.If you are having problems with items e-mail the National Suuply Group in North Carolina. There is major push is on cutomer service right now and are looking for imput from the volunteers and customers.
