Sanitizing Tablets

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?

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.

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.
