BPwannabe@137 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi, My coworker and I working on a deal with the Dept. Of Defence to get some Marine Corp campaign hats (OD green) from really cheap. Those that know me from my postings know what I do for the Gov. and know that I am totally legit. If this comes to be, we can resell these for around $10.00 (maybe cheaper!!). Anyone out there interested in outfitting their scouts and/or leaders in campaign hats. Let me know so I can decide if it is worth our time conducting this transaction.

Double Eagle Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 What a great opportunity. I'm sure you'll be swamped with requests. The biggest question I would expect is availabililty of sizes. I'm interested in a couple for around that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPwannabe@137 Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 As of now, we are looking at around 200 hats. Sizes are unknown but we will know in a few weeks. As far as I know, the hats are new (some were still packed in their plastic shipping wrapper) and are the USMC style which is a little thicker then the army DI style. When we physically get our hands on them, we will make a count of sizes and other exact details. I am not in it to make a profit, but my partner (non a scout) will take a small cut to off set the shipping of the hats and any out of pocket $$$. He is going to keep the final price low. He has been supplying me with other items for my scouts and myself (I am currently a cubmaster and will be starting a troop in two years). I have stockpiled tents, sweaters, canteens mess kits, belts, and other OD (but no camo) equipment. I asked him about campaign hats and he said he comes across them frequently. I told him if he can supply my future troop with some, then I will find a way for him to get rid of the rest. Thus the birth of this post. When I know more, I will repost. Keep on checking.

Balding Eagle Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I agree with Double Eagle, can't go wrong at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocubdad Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Keep me on the list. We're thinking about doing Baden-Powell's Boot Camp for our day camp theme next year and it would be fun to have a bunch of (cheap!) lemon squeezers for the camp staff.

romboman Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 count me In!! That was somewhere on the list, "You might be a Wood-Badger if...you think campaign hats are cool." Just got myself one from BSA, but would love to have a second, so one I can keep clean for meetings, the other for outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
