As much as they would like to "rough it," Boy Scouts needed equipment if they were going to go out in the woods to camp. Recognizing this, the Boy Scouts of America offered suitable, affordable, high-quality equipment to Scouts from the beginning , with a handful of items stamped with the logo and identified as "official." Recognizing the profits to be made from this army of young campers, many other companies began selling camping and other equipment aimed specifically at Boy Scouts. Often, these companies would identify the equipment with the words "Boy Scout," sometimes printed or stamped directly on the items. They would sometimes also package the items with attractive "Boy Scout" labels. These items were popular during the entire decade, and were not driven from the field until the Boy Scouts of America dramatically expanded their line of official equipment in the 1920s.
