SR540Beaver Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Our troop has had individually wrapped chlorine sanitizing tablets in the past, but have ran out. Currently we are just using a bottle of clorox to add to the sanitizing rinse for clean up after cooking. We are a young troop of some very hyper and unobservant 11 and 12 year olds and we really don't trust them at this point to handle a bottle of bleach. We really don't want to send someone home with a white spotted uniform. I have Googled and Googled and found many references on scouting sites to the sanitizer tablets, but no brand info or where to find them. I spent my lunch hour today driving around town and came away empty handed from an Army/Navy Surplus store, a restaurant supply store and a janitorial supply store. The janitorial supply place looked in a supply catalog and found Beer Klean which are individual packets of powder used by bars that they could custom order for me. 100 to a case at a cost of $33.00.....which really isn't a bad price. But I'd prefer a tablet to a powder. Does anybody use these tablets and do you have a source you can pass on to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nldscout Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 If you don't get an answer by end of week when I get home I will look at the bottle we have of them. We use the same ones they used at 2001 NSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nldscout Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 try this http://www.foodservicedirect.com/index.cfm/S/92/N/82344/Sink_Sanitizer_Tablets.htm although they are not wrapped its what we use. If you want indiviual wrapped ones BSA sells them at scoutsuff.org at a premium price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 DOH! Like any good Scouter would do, I always carry my BSA Official Retail Catalog in my briefcase to drool over when things are slow. Lo and behold, sanitizer tablets! However, it says $2.05 per package, but it doesn't say if that is 1, 5, or 10 tablets. $2.05 per tablet would be pretty pricey.......but most things in the BSA catalog are. I'm still looking for a source, so keep the comments coming please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Double DOH! I decided to call the BSA Supply Division's toll free number to find out how many in a package and find it in the catalog just as they answer the phone. They come 3 to a package. Still pricey! I guess I can't function today. Since I've been "scouting" the past 5 nights, I'm going home, crawling up in my recliner with some comfort food and unplugging my brain.

evmori Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Check at Sams, Costco, WalMart. Or try any restaurant supply house. We got a bottle of them last time at WalMart! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
