captainron14 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Does anyone have any sorces for "SECONDS" in Venturing Uniforms. Especialy the Pants. Sixty-five dollars is insane. I myself have NEVER paid that much for ANY pair of pants. Our Crew has elected to use the "Dark Green" shirt and use "Black Jeans" for the pants. If I could find a reasonable source for the offical pants, they would go for it. PLEASE, just info on possibilities for supply, NO lecture from the Uniform Police. Thank you!

Fat Old Guy Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 It is hard to find "seconds" for BSA uniforms because most of the uniforms are seconds. I needed a new expedition hat a while back and was dismayed to discover that every one in my size had the eyelets for the chinstrap misplaced. I had to return my first uniform shirt because the right pocket was a half inch lower than the left. My current short sleeved shirt has pockets that are not the same size. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that until I had sewn my patches on it. $65 for a pair of cotton work pants is outrageous. Go to Walmart and look at grey work pants for $20, they even have ones with a nifty pocket for a cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDHII Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I recommend that you wear dark grey Dickies with the cellphone pocket. You'll find many uses for that extra pocket and the pants are double kneed. There's nothing in literature that says Venturers have to wear 100% BSA uniforms. You can buy 3 pairs of Dickies for the cost of one BSA Venturing pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FScouter Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Try eBay. Here's one "brand new mint condition". The current bid is $15.50 and the auction expires tomorrow. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3646849280&category=39657 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainron14 Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 FSCOUTER Thanks for the tip, but that item is for a pair of "Boy Scout" pants. I'm after Venturing pants. They are a "Charcoal Gray" pant and currently sell for $65 and "up" at the Scout Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
