Hey all,

We have planned our Court of Honor for Feb 8th (hope that date sounds familiar) and I want to get the Scouts something special as it is also my one year anniversary as Scoutmaster.  I was thinking of getting each Scout one of those draw-string backpacks with the Troop logo and their name on the back (no missing bags or that's mine).  Makes a great travel bag for the car ride when all the gear is in the trailer. 

If ClassB had them I wouldn't be asking this but does anyone have an idea of who to go to for these.  I've googled and come up with tons of options but I'm looking for a Scout-friendly place maybe a fellow PTCer has dealt with…

Thanks!

YIS

Hmmm, you know, if you are any good with a sewing machine, you probably could make them up really fast with the new BSA fabric.  I'd have to check with MISS Kris the sewing Goddess and Guru, but the actual design of them is very, VERY easy.  One piece of fabric, grommets and some nice roping. 

I also think that you could put a felt design in the center, or a large, oversized patch….  Wow, I'm feeling inspired.  Thanks Bryan for the idea!  However, that is perhaps more work than you were considering doing…  :)

Now, when do you need them by? :) No, seriously, I couldn't do it, but I really think it wouldn't taken very long to make 'em.

MISS Kris, found a pattern, but I still think we could make a pattern with fewer cuts.

And, as you pointed out to me, BSA cotton for quilts probably isn't durable and more expensive.

Here's the pattern.
