Trading Post Guide
Years ago the trading post was the
lifeblood of the backwoods settlement. It
was the place to go and trade furs or other
items for sugar, flour, coffee, and other
staples. The trading post also served as a
place where news, conversation, and
socializing could be had. Without the trading post you had to do without a
large part of frontier life.
The advancement of civilization spelled doom for the old fashioned trading
post. You now get your news from the television or newspaper, you pay cash
for staples at your local super store, and your socializing might be done in a
chat room.
The Trading post at Sabattis Scout Reservation fall someplace in
between. It is a rustic looking building and while we’re not a superstore this is
where you go to get program merchandise, personal care items, and
refreshments. It’s also the social center of the camp. At one time or another
everyone in camp will come there.
Our customer service oriented trading post staff will assist you in all of
your purchases. You’ll find that our prices are affordable because we want to
make sure that every Scout can take home a tangible memory of camp. We
accept checks and all major credit cards.
