Dear Parents and Scouts

Trappers Trading is an outdoor apparel store that sells just about anything that a scout would need or want for a Camp, Hike or River Adventure. Discovery Scouts Old Boy, John Black has managed to secure a 10% discount on anything bought (excluding GPS’s) by Cubs, Scouts, Parents and Scouters of first Discovery (only). This 10% off does only apply to North Gate and Fourways Branches only and has been approved by Richard Turkington, the store manager.

Trappers does also have sole retail of a local brand called Terra-Firma. Terra-Firma is a locally owned brand that is cheaper than the norm but offers the same, possible better, quality compared to all major imports. I personally recommend Terra-Firma Ruck Sacks, Sleeping bags and Torches over all other brands, especially for scouts.

If you are in the need to purchase new gear for camps and general scout events, please make sure you speak to Kent Jennings and I if you are unsure as to what you need. I have noticed that shops are taking advantage of scouts and promoting unneeded and expensive gear.

When you are shopping at Trappers Trading Fourways or Northgate and wish to take advantage of the 10% Discount, you will need to produce some sort of Discovery ID. This can be done by showing your green card (with Discovery written on the front), showing your scarf or wearing uniform (advertising scouts while you at it)
