The Greater St. Louis Area Council is excited to announce the purchase of the brand new "Stealth Tent" to be implemented at all of our #CampLifeSTLBSA camps this summer!
Utilizing state-of-the-art adaptive camouflage technology to blend seamlessly into its surroundings the Stealth Tent will provide our Scouts with the highest level of shelter without disrupting the beautiful scenery at our camps.
We believe this addition will take our already top-notch Summer Camp facilities to the next level! Tell us your thoughts!
We will need to change the motto to be prepared to have an excellent sense of humor. However this would have been far more appropriately posted on April 1.
This is so cool! I can think of so many uses of this especially when taking those SM naps at camp when the Patrols are cooking their meals. Genius!
Wow, thats a great combination of LNT and STEM out there! Can't wait to NOT see these tents this summer!
These are pretty STEM-tastic! Can't wait to "see" them at camp this summer!
Please be careful with those invisible tent ropes so you don't trip!!! And don't forget to wear the new uniform version of the Emperor's New Clothes!
Wow. Taking Leave No Trace to the next level!
This is AMAZING! The old green canvas just ain't what it used to be, and this is a step forward in every way! 100%
Your FOS dollars at work! What is the cost of naming rights?
