Spot is the perfect addition to your scout gear. Imagine all of the parents of your scouts being able to log onto a web page and see where you are and that everything is OK.

As a Scoutmaster, we have added this to our gear. Last spring, we took a week long hiking trip. As we were preparing to leave, one mom came up to me and asked "How can I get in touch with my son while you are gone." All I could say was "You can't."

The area we were visiting had no cell coverage. I assured her that everything would be fine (and t was) and we would find a way to contact her if there was a problem, but she still worried for the entire week.

Now we have SPOT! It gives all of our parents the "Peace of Mind" that they are looking for. They can see where we are and we can signal that everything is OK, no mater where we travel. And parents know that we have immediate access to help if we need it.

This is an affordable addition to our troop budget at only $149 and pennies a day for service. That's a cheap price to pay for peace of mind. Our worried mom would have gladdly paid this herself last spring!
