Question Regarding Special Makeup Items

Sarah and Dennis

As always, thanks for the great stuff.

I have a question about customized equipment. Our council is starting to plan for the 2010 jamboree, and I was wondering if you would be offering any special equipment for that event, particularly tents.

One of the things that we are looking for is perhaps a kind of tent as was used this past summer in the World Jamboree... it had quite a spacious exterior vestibule (almost like a "dome" tent with alarge tunnel vestibule) and seemed like a well received tent. We typically try to purchase tents for a jamboree that can later be used by Scout troops for their camp needs ... typically not light weight backpacking, more like car-camping type tents or perhaps "short hike" where weight is not as critical.

So, that brings up two questions ... one, do you already have anything in mind, and if not, would you consider doing developing a "customized" design (i.e. not one of your current offerings, but perhaps one you might offer in the future?)

Thanks!
Roger P.

Hello Roger,

Thanks for your message. Yes, we're always interested in helping "customize" items for our Scout friends ... and as I'm sure you completely understand, it always comes down to how specialized it is and what quantity you and other Scout Troops may also be able to use. We're very fortunate that our tent factory is really reasonable when it comes to minimum quantities. In China, most factories like to have 1000 pieces as a minimum, and realistically they most of the time will accept 500 pieces. Our tent factory is pretty good at cutting that in half again ... down to 250 pieces ... especially if we're using fabrics and colors that they're already running. If it's a little bit larger tent ... which means more dollars per item for them ...we might even get them to consider around 150 pieces.

Regarding the design, do you have a tent/design that you think is "perfect" ... or close enough that you could say "if you'd just change these 2 things it would be perfect" ... that you could get to us? If you can let us know pretty specifically what you want and have a pretty good idea of how many you will need, we can get startedworking on this for you. Thanks for giving us a chance.

Stay in touch.
Dennis
